"......... Columnar Trees New varieties of fruit trees, Columnar (also
called Collonade), have been developed for small growing areas. Columnar
trees look like 'bottle brushes', growing straight up with very small branch
diameter. Mature trees, on average, are 8 - 10' tall and only 2' wide. They
can have a productive life of 20 years. ............"

These sound like the Ballerina fruit trees that have been in the UK for
about 10 years now.
WARNING Do not prune these trees in any way.if you do they revert to
ordinary trees with a normal spread.
