Golden Sentinel™ is a striking columnar edible apple that combines ornamental appeal with real fruit production. In mid-spring, upright branches are lined with white blossoms that attract bees and signal the start of the growing season. These give way to golden-yellow apples that are crisp, flavorful, and suitable for fresh eating, baking, and preserving.
Unlike traditional spreading apple trees, ‘Golden Sentinel’ grows in an extremely narrow, upright form, making it ideal for small yards, patios, raised beds, and container growing. Its tidy habit also makes it a natural fit for edible hedges, walkway accents, or tight urban landscapes where space is limited but productivity is still desired.
Green foliage remains clean and attractive through the season, and the tree performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Fruiting improves with pollination from another apple variety nearby.
Why We Love It: A true apple tree that looks like a sculpture—productive, space-saving, and perfect for modern edible landscapes.
