The term indicates the crown shape of the plant. In botanical literature, this name refers to the ornamental form Malus prunifolia 'Fastigiata', which is not intended for commercial fruit production.
The tree reaches a height of 5–7 meters. At a young age, it has a columnar crown, which becomes fan-shaped or vase-shaped over the years. The fruits are small, about 2 cm, yellow with a red blush, edible, but are used primarily for garden decoration and attracting birds.
The plant is characterized by high winter hardiness, corresponding to zone 3. Like other ornamental apple trees, it may be susceptible to scab or fire blight.
