A sweet, snack-sized golden apple from a tree so narrow it fits in a pot on the patio.
Golden Treat™ is part of the Fruit Snacks™ collection of naturally compact, columnar apple trees bred to grow up rather than out. It produces full-flavored yellow-gold apples with crisp, juicy flesh and a honeyed, lightly tart finish — the kind of fruit you pick and eat right off the branch. With a mature size of roughly 10 ft. tall and just 2 ft. wide, the fruit grows tight against a single upright trunk, so a real harvest is possible even where space is tight.
Why growers choose Golden Treat™
- Genuinely small footprint. A columnar habit of about 10 ft. tall and only 2 ft. wide lets you grow apples on a balcony, along a fence, or in a row where a standard tree would never fit.
- Sweet, crisp eating apples. The golden fruit is firm and juicy with a sweet, balanced flavor that suits fresh snacking, lunchboxes, and slicing.
- Cold-hardy and adaptable. Reliable outdoors in USDA zones 4 through 9, it shrugs off cold winters and performs across a wide swath of the country.
- Made for containers. The narrow form is naturally suited to a large pot, so you can place it on a deck or move it to the best sun.
- Spring bloom, late-summer reward. White-pink spring blossoms give way to apples that color up for a September harvest.
Whether you have a sprawling yard or only a sunny corner of a patio, Golden Treat™ delivers homegrown apples without taking over the space — line several up for an edible privacy screen, or keep one in a pot by the back door.

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.
Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
