- Hardiness: Fully hardy. This tree will survive under any condition including the occasional snowy winters in the UK.
- Pest & Disease Resistance: Resistant to fire blight. May need protection from aphids, woolly aphid, fruit tree red spider mite and caterpillars. It could also be affected by apple scab, apple cranker and powdery mildews.
- Uses: Make jam or let the birds eat the fruit
- Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
- Soil Type: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they are free draining. Sandy gravel over chalk is ideal.
- Watering: When newly planted, water at least once a month for the first couple of months. Afterwards, keep the soil moist but well-drained.
- Feeding: After planting, add some fertiliser and cover with mulch to ensure water and nutrients get to the roots. Replace the mulch and feed annually with a slow-release fertiliser to maintain growth and encourage a beautiful display of blooms.
- Pruning: Little or no pruning is required as crabapples create a well-branched framework naturally.
Product Specifications
- Eventual Height: 4m
- Eventual Spread: 4.5m
- Height on Arrival: 120-150cm inc. roots
- Supplied As: Bare Root. Our trees are supplied as “bare roots” meaning that the roots of the trees are established below the ground but not actively growing (dormant) between November and March. As bare roots are stored without any soil or pot, they will easily settle themselves when in contact with soil in your garden. Don't panic if your tree is not showing any sign of growth above the ground come April, as it's still in the dormant phase.
