Largest Apple Orchard in Ballard















With our sixteen apple trees my husband always boosts this fact. Everyone envisions a large track of land when they actually grow in a 30” wide planter down the South side of our house. They are a hybrid apple called Colonnade they are only 2 feet around and about 8 to 10 feet tall. We use them to shade the south side of our house, make a dozen of apple pies, share with friends and eat fresh. We get a couple of bushels of apples each year from this unusual dwarf apple trees.
