Anyone can grow Fruit Snacks™. Everyone should.
About Tangy Green™
If you enjoy the crisp, tart flavor of a Granny Smith apple, then you’re going to love Tangy Green™! Juicy, with a tart taste and crisp acidic tang, Tangy Green™ is perfect for snacking and for pies. With the arrival of spring comes soft pink to white flowers, a magnificent look if multiple trees are planted for privacy.
Apple-green in color and strikingly round, its fruits form in abundance on spurs along the main stem. As a columnar apple, this variety takes up a lot less growing space than a standard apple, so now, even with limited yard space, you can grow your own apples!
Easy to grow and care for due to their size, Fruit Snacks™ columnar apples are ideal choices for small spaces. Tangy Green™ is our most vigorous growing columnar, so plan on mature trees of 10-14' tall and a wider branching habit. Tangy Green™ should be planted on 2-3' centers for best results. Their cold hardiness and disease resistance make them a reliable choice for an edible privacy hedge or as accent plants in large containers. Like other apples, you will need two different varieties for pollination. Most Fruit Snacks™ apples bloom mid-season and will be good pollinizers for the others.
