Golden Treat Apple Tree

Needs a partnerColumnar Urban Apple with sweet golden fruit. Fits a patio or small yard. Only a few left.

‘Golden Treat’ is a columnar Urban Apple: it grows straight up with very short side branches, so it fits on a patio, in a large container or along a path. The apples are golden and sweet, getting sweeter the longer they hang.
We only have a few, so reserve early if you want one. Like other apples it needs a partner; Blushing Delight, any other apple or a flowering crabapple nearby will do.
Golden Treat is from the same Urban Apple series (bred by Dr. Jaroslav Tupy in the Czech Republic) as Blushing Delight, and the two make natural partners.
How it tastes
Sweet and golden. Picked early it's a little tangy; left to hang, it gets sweeter.

Growing tips
Watch for: Bred for resistance to scab and powdery mildew; still watch for fire blight
- Full sun (at least 6–8 hours) and soil that drains well. Avoid low spots where water sits in spring.
- Mature size depends on the rootstock the tree is grafted onto. Ask us if space is tight.
- Water deeply once a week through the first summer, more often in heat waves.
- Pick off all fruit for the first two years. After that, thin the young fruit to one apple per cluster in early summer for bigger apples and a crop every year.
- Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant to open up the center to light and air.
