The 'Scarlet Sentinel' produces large, sweet, juicy apples that ripen mid-late September. This variety will produce green, blush-red apples within the first few years of planting. They average at about 8-10' tall and 2' wide, and they are great for small space gardening. Will also produce beautiful clusters of white flowers in April.
