Column Fruit Trees (Set of 3)2215

Product Information

Columnar trees in pots are also prone to frost, so place them in your garage or cellar during the winter. Make sure the temperature drops to about 45 degrees Fahrenheit regularly to help the tree become more fruitful. Transplanting If you choose to use one, prepare your support structure and place your well-secured training wires horizontally across this structure. 2) Space Out Your Trees

If you are looking for an upright, tall, columnar maple tree, then the ‘Walters Columnar’ cultivar is an excellent choice. Also called a scarlet maple, this fastigiate tree grows tall, narrow, and upright. This maple tree blooms with small, red flowers in the spring. The tree is deciduous and has lush, green foliage that turns a spectacular orange or deep red color in the fall. One important thing to note, whether you are training your trees against an existing structure, or making a new support structure, is that it must be strong enough to withstand gales, and support the weight of your trees in windy conditions. On receipt, soak the roots in water for at least two hours (overnight is better). If you can't plant straight away, they should be fine for up to a week if left in a cool, dark, frost-free place - keep the bag around the roots with some water inside. The situation is different with self-fertilising varieties. They do not require a fertilising variety. Ask your specialist outlet to advise you as to whether the selected variety needs a planting partner or not.

Ballarinas have the tightest columnar form of all the variations discussed here.

Columnar Tall Spruce Trees

So why aren’t these columnar-like fruit trees considered true columnars like the apple trees? Well, that’s because they’re not bred with natural columnar growth. Their narrow growth habit is formed the way it is due to regular pruning.
