A beautiful compact crab apple which is highly productive and as the name suggests, makes superb crab apple jelly. In spring, it produces a mass of large waxy white flowers just as the lush green leaves start to appear. From late summer, these are followed by the large orange-pink fruits which can remain longer than most other crab apples. Ideal for a small garden or growing in a large pot.
Garden care: Plant bare-root specimens as soon as conditions allow, avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Removed dead, diseased and crossing branches while the tree is dormant.
