Malus ‘John Downie’ (Flowering Crabapple)
£29.99
This tree is one of the very best Malus varieties for crab apple jelly due to the size, flavour and pectin level of its fruit.
Malus ‘John Downie’ produces a mass of large, plum-like, red and yellow flushed apples that mature early but last well into the winter. Earlier in the year, a blanket of white flowers open from pink buds which are very popular amongst bees, making it a useful pollinator for apple trees.
Foliage is mid-green with good autumn colour in fiery shades of yellow, bronze and orange.
