Malus

White flowers in spring, abundant, red persistent fruit in fall. Exceptionally clean foliage throughout the growing season. This tree tends to maintain a rounded growth habit, and most often grows a bit wider than it does tall, with a mature height of 18-22' and similar mature width. This tree flowers in early spring, and as pictured, buds begin as an almost crimson red, and as they open fade to pure white. The flowers give way to bright red fruit that are roughly 3/8" in diameter and persistent through the winter (providing some nice winter interest). Spring and summer foliage is green, turning amber/yellow in autumn. Click the image to read more!

This well-known crab apple is a popular choice for gardens where its neat tapering shape and huge crops of conspicuous yellow fruits have made it a favourite. It is also widely planted among fruiting apple trees because its lavish display of white flowers is a prolific source of pollen for fertilising the other trees. One of the best of all crabs, its branches bend under the weight of fruit, which can be used for culinary purposes or may be left on to last all autumn and part of the winter too. Supplied at approx 150-180cms in 10 Litre containers. Click the image to read more!

Malus Gorgeous - Flowering Crab Apple has an average height of 2-4 metres x 2-3 metres wide. It is a very pretty deciduous New Zealand hybrid. Small tree with masses of small pink buds opening to single white flowers in spring. Red fruits can be used in cooking. Single trunk with upright branches which can become open and pendulous under the weight of fruit. Best grown in a protected sunny site in rich fertile soil. This attractive tree, which is one of the most popular of the crab apples, is rightly called 'Gorgeous'. At less than 3m tall, it is only a small tree. The bright crimson-red fruit, touched with orange on the underside, is borne in heavy clusters on long stems. While the flowers are quite insipid, the budding branches are often used in floral arrangements. The fruit makes an excellent jelly. M. 'Gorgeous' grows in any soil, including heavy clay, and is resistant to most diseases. It's perfect for a sunny part of any cool-climate garden but also loves a heavy frost.
