Planting & Care

A highly productive and visually appealing crab apple tree, recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
In spring, it is adorned with stunning white blossoms that attract bees and butterflies.
Bears large, ruby red fruits that are ideal for creating jellies, jams, and cider.
The colourful fruits persist into the winter months, providing food for garden birds.
Trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage stronger, bushier growth.
