'Stark® Scarlet Spire™' is a beautiful bright red over green. Savor the flavor of this juicy apple in late September in Zone 5. U.S. Plant Patent 6226. They grow to about 8 feet tall and only 2 feet wide, require little or no maintenance, and have attractive white or pink blossoms in spring. Plant at least 2 varieties for proper pollination. If potting, use at least 17" in diameter. They normally start bearing apples in the third year. For maximum performance, top the tree out at 8 feet. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
