Angela Palmer, Founder and Co-Owner of Plants Nouveau, shares why columnar apple trees are a dream for home growers. These tall, slim trees require minimal pruning, as they fruit on second-year wood and grow only five to six feet wide. While you might shape them more for hedges or espaliers, most of the time, a little light shaping by removing first-year wood is all they need. Discover why these low-maintenance trees may be good for your garden! 🍎 Want to learn more about growing low-maintenance apple trees? Check out the full podcast for Angela Palmer’s expert insights!
