(SUPER DWARF) Malus Domestica 'Polka' (Apple Polka – Columnar)
(Super Dwarf) Malus Domestica 'Polka' (Apple Polka – Columnar) is a compact, columnar-shaped apple tree, perfect for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces. It produces medium-sized, crisp apples with a sweet and slightly tart flavour, and bright red skin. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, and juicing, this variety offers excellent fruit quality while maintaining a small, manageable size.
The tree has an upright, narrow growth habit that requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape. In early spring, Apple Polka blooms with white blossoms, which add ornamental value while attracting pollinators for fruit production. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is a low-maintenance, self-fertile variety. The apples ripen in mid to late autumn, providing a reliable and tasty harvest.
As a super dwarf variety, Apple Polka is specially bred to stay small, making it perfect for gardeners with limited space while still producing a generous crop of high-quality apples.
