Malus Scarlet Sentinel™ #7

‘Scarlet Sentinel’ is a columnar edible apple that delivers both strong visual appeal and dependable harvests in a remarkably narrow footprint. In mid-spring, white blossoms open along the upright stems, creating a clean, elegant flowering display that draws in bees. These blooms give way to glossy red apples with a balanced flavor suitable for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.

Its extremely upright, space-saving habit makes ‘Scarlet Sentinel’ ideal for patios, small yards, raised beds, and containers, as well as for use in edible hedges or as a vertical focal point along walks and entries. The green foliage remains neat and attractive throughout the season, and best performance comes from full sun and well-drained soil.

As with all apples, cross-pollination with another variety blooming at the same time will improve fruit set and yield.

Pollinator options: ‘Golden Sentinel’, 'Honeycrisp', 'Fugi' and 'Gala'
