The Malus ‘Urban Golden Treat’, also known as ‘Urban Golden Treat’ columnar apple tree, is a compact deciduous fruit tree from the Urban Apple® series, ideal for small gardens, patios, or balconies. Its naturally columnar habit allows it to be grown even in confined spaces, while offering an excellent production of golden, crisp, and sweet apples. Very decorative, it features pale pink blossoms in spring followed by dense green foliage, then yellow fruits when ripe in mid-season. Perfect for fresh consumption, cooking, or canning, this apple tree is self-fertile, disease-resistant, hardy down to zone 4, and very easy to care for. It fits perfectly into urban edible landscaping, where it combines aesthetics, yield, and practicality.
