If you are looking for a fruiting neighbor for 'Northpole', meet 'Scarlet Sentinel', a great new, bountiful selection that produces fruit without taking up the space. Like 'Northpole', this selection rarely branches with fruit produced right along its main trunk on fruiting spurs giving you the same oppotunity to grow it in the ground or in containers in any tight space. 'Scarlet Sentinel' produces a late September maturing fruit that is worth the wait featuring great size and taste on yellowish-green brushed red fruit with crisp flesh and texture.
