Sorry, I probably can't offer much more information either, other than I bought one this spring and I couldn't find much information on it either. It's said to grow tall, narrow, 15 feet tall by 4 feet wide, so we'll see. It was developed at the University of Saskatchewan and is a later maturing apple.(Sept). My plant arrived healthy but is only a 18 inch tall grafted plant. It's just starting to leaf out at current.

I purchased this apple last year from T&T Seeds ( as part of my work; to see how it would perform beyond its intended zone) and after growing it on in a large pot, planted it in lightly amended clay loam soil in my zone 6b garden. It was the coldest winter our area has had in more than a decade (-30), and we did not have snow cover until late January (rarely happens). It was not fazed; in fact, it is thriving. It remained unaffected by pests of all kinds (unlike the two apple whips beside it); and reached 3.75 feet this fall, with three fastigiate branches. The leaves are thick, shiny, and deep green. The stem is also very thick. So far, really outstanding - Rick Sawatzky (U of Sask) is an outstanding plant breeder.

Just an update on my tree. Though I had it surrounded by a low fence, the rabbit got to it and chewed a great portion of it last winter. However, it recovered rather nicely to approximately 3 feet high at present. Needless to say I have chicken wire now around the plant to give it greater protection higher up.

Can you guys give an update on your trees? I planted one this spring and it is still growing strong as of August 3rd.

Any updates on how they are doing now? Thank you

Mine is in Saskatchewan cold and dry. Gets regular watering in summer. Now after three years it is about 8-9 feet tall and growing up about a foot a year. Still no blooms yet but hopefully soon.

Planted two 3 years ago. first year nothing happened. 2nd year one grew to 6-7 feet the other lagged behing at 4 ft. the bigger one had a dozen or so blossoms that sprouted but dropped off. Nothing happened on the smaller one . This year the big one grew to 9 ft. and bloomed gangbuster and has produced up to 40 farely big apples and doing great The smaller one is around 6.5 to 7 ft. had about a dozen blooms and produced 3 apples. the rest dropped off.( It might have a younger tree. Looking forward for it to rebound next year. I am in Kapuskasing in Northern Ontario-- this variety grows here it will grow anywhere. Looking forward to a bumper crop of Apples in 2022.( PAUL SEGUIN- August22/2021)

Can you all share how it did this year? Id love to hear especially from the commenter from Kap.

I'm interested in planting some next year if I can find some to purchase. I really appreciate your response. I'm from Temiskaming Shores area.

I planted three Treasured Columnars in the Summer of 2021. The first year they basically "took" but grew only a bit. Last summer they took off and grew almost two feet. I have just pruned them and they are bright and green and fresh - so no winter damage. We are near Barry's Bay, Ontario.
