Limbless apple trees are the most compact type of apple trees grown today! This revolutionary style of apple trees utilize their nutrients to quickly produce fruit instead of growing limbs that branch out and take up space. Scarlet Sentinel in particular produces an abundance of large, juicy, candy-red apples whose delicious flavor is comparable to Red McIntosh apples. Scarlet Sentinel trees grow with an abundance of tiny spurs adorning the solitary tree trunk. These soft fruit spurs are actually dormant flowers waiting to burst into bloom when spring comes. These abundant flowers each become the large, delicious, juicy, and brightly colored apples that make the Scarlet Sentinel tree famous!
