'Spartan' Mini-Dwarf Apple Trees

Mini-dwarf Spartan apple trees will produce full-size apples on trees that only grow 4-6 feet tall.

The Spartan apple is a Canadian-bred variety known for its sweet, crisp, and juicy texture. It has a striking deep red skin and white, fine-grained flesh. The flavour is a delightful balance of sweetness and mild tartness, making it excellent for fresh eating, baking, and juicing. Spartan apples are small to medium in size, with a long shelf life. This versatile apple is also prized for its aromatic quality and its suitability for growing in temperate climates.

Mini-dwarf apple trees are ideal for easy picking, easy pruning, and container gardening. Mini-dwarf apple trees are dwarfed by being grafted to dwarfing rootstock. They produce at an earlier age than full-size apple trees and, due to their small size, you can fit several different varieties in the same space as one standard or semi-dwarf apple tree.

All of the apple varieties we offer (both mini-dwarf and columnar) are suitable varieties for cross-pollinating each other.
