Fruit Snacks™ Blushing Delight™ Apple 1 Live Tree – Malus domestica ‘A68-173’ – 2 Gallon Pot

Fruit Snacks™ Blushing Delight™ Apple (Malus domestica ‘A68-173’) is a deciduous fruit tree valued for its narrow, upright growth habit and edible apples. Part of the Fruit Snacks™ series, this columnar-style apple tree is suited to landscapes where horizontal growing space is limited, including compact edible gardens, patios, and sunny garden borders.

In spring, the tree produces attractive blossoms that are typically white with pink tones, followed by developing apples. The fruit has a red blush over a lighter background and offers a crisp texture and sweet flavor when ripe. Its green foliage provides seasonal interest, while its naturally upright branching habit creates a distinctive, space-conscious appearance.

This listing includes one live Fruit Snacks™ Blushing Delight™ Apple tree in a 2 gallon nursery pot. It performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Apple production depends on suitable growing conditions, flower pollination, seasonal weather, and plant maturity. A compatible apple pollinizer with overlapping bloom time is generally recommended for reliable fruit production.
