CRAB APPLE (Malus sylvestrus) Cell Grown Tree (WFT30)
£3.95
Native throughtout the British Isles, it can grow to 30ft (9m).
A small spreading tree often with a dense crown and large twisted branches, the latter can be quite spiny.
Delicate white flowers provide an autumn crop of crab apples and although the fruit is bitter it can be made into jelly, jam and wine.
It is an excellent food source for birds.
Somewhat suprisingly it can take cutting back very well and is an interesting component that can be included in traditional hedgerows.
