Crab Apples make attractive trees with their pink or white blossom, followed by colourful autumn fruits that make delicious preserves.
Any unpicked fruits will soften after a few frosts and will create a sumptuous food source for wild birds from late January until March.
All varieties are self fertile.
Crab apples planted near fruiting apple trees make excellent pollinators, and will help pollinating bees to increase your crop.
