(SUPER DWARF) Malus Domestica 'Bolero' (Apple Bolero – Columnar)
(Super Dwarf) Malus Domestica 'Bolero' (Apple Bolero – Columnar) is a compact, columnar-shaped deciduous apple tree, perfect for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces. It produces crisp, sweet apples with greenish-yellow skin and a hint of blush, ideal for fresh eating, baking, and juicing. Known for its high productivity and excellent fruit quality, this variety is a great choice for home gardeners.
The tree has a naturally upright, narrow growth habit, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its shape. In spring, it produces delicate white blossoms, adding ornamental beauty before fruit development. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Apple Bolero is a low-maintenance variety that is self-fertile, making it easy to grow. The apples ripen in mid to late autumn, providing a reliable and delicious harvest.
* A super dwarf refers to a plant variety that is much smaller than its standard counterparts, often with a compact growth habit. These plants are specifically bred to remain small, making them ideal for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces. Despite their smaller size, super dwarf varieties are typically just as productive as their larger counterparts, offering a full harvest in a more manageable space. *
