'Rosalie' is a great decorative tree for even very small home gardens thanks to its extremely columnar shape and overall grower friendliness. This ornamental variety boasts large attractive flowers that make the blooming tree unlikely to overlook. Its smaller fruits are not edible fresh, but - along with decorating the garden long until autumn months - may be used for making apple jelly.
