The flavorful, crunchy, juicy fruits have a mouthwatering, sweet taste with a slight tartness, which makes them perfect for fresh-eating right off the tree or use in baking for apple cobblers and pies. The fruits have good storage capabilities if you want to have some for later through the season.

Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide with a columnar form, the 2-in1 Fruit Snacks Columnar Apple is ideal for use as a specimen or in grouping and rows in landscape and woodland borders. Its narrower form makes it perfect for growing in containers that can be situated on or around sunny patios, decks, and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. It is also lovely for espalier (planted and trained to grow flat against a wall). It is a fine addition to red them gardens, pollinator gardens, bird and wildlife gardens, edible landscapes, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 4 feet for space between trees
Growing Preferences
The 2-in-1 Fruit Snacks Columnar Apple grows best in moist, well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun; six or more hours daily for the heaviest flower and fruit production. Established trees are drought-tolerant. Light shade is tolerated, but morning sun is a must.
