The columnar apple 'Jarle' requires a sunny to semi-shady location and well-drained, humus-rich garden soil. Even with columnar fruit, it is advisable to plant a second apple as a pollinator to increase the yield. All common apple varieties are suitable for fertilization. Just like all other columnar apples. For example, the 'Silver Pearl', 'Arbat' or 'Red River'. You can expect abundant yields from the 'Jarle' crab apple. This requires regular and proper care. Columnar fruit is not suitable for pressing juice in barrels or storing the fruit by the crate in the cellar. The harvest is good. However, the columnar fruit is intended purely as a snack fruit.

The gardener can achieve both privacy and fruit by planting a fruit hedge.
