Tasty Red™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree

Tasty Red™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree – Big Flavor in a Narrow Footprint

The Tasty Red™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree is a columnar apple variety purpose-built for small spaces—growing just 2–3 feet wide while reaching 8–10 feet tall. It produces an abundant crop of crisp, sweet, snack-sized apples that are perfect for lunchboxes, fresh eating, and backyard harvests without the sprawl of a traditional apple tree.

Ships as a healthy 3–4 ft. tree, ready to plant and establish in your garden or container.
