Try calling the nursery.

"malus" just means apple.

They were not sure... They seen it was new and got 2 just for interest sake! Couldn't tell me anything!?!?

Does the tag say anything about where it came from, who sold it to the nursery?

Are you sure that's not 'columnar'? rather than 'connar'.

Nope tag reads "dwarf malus connar". Maybe a misprint ??? Never thought of that. Tag is white simple no other info. There was 2 both with the same tags.

Growers usually place a sticker on the container, while the nursery/retailer often places a generic tag on the plant itself. Try looking at the container of any similarly tagged plant at the nursery.

My money's riding on a misprint/misspelling.
Do they look anything like this...?

Here is a link that might be useful: Columnar apples

The tree does look like that, there was no fruit on it. I sure hope the fruit is palatable. Going to look for the pot it came in... Just in case!
