Can anyone share their experiences with me regarding columnar apple
trees, either the colennades sold by stark bros. or the other
varieties, like the north pole?

They are good when you need a second variety for cross pollination but
space is an issue. I'd agree with beeky on the quality of the
fruit.......I've tasted Northpole, Scarlet Sentinel and Golden Sentinel.
They are nothing to get excited about. I'll take my poor old scab
plagued, powdery mildew prone Gravenstein any day.
