A particularly attractive crab apple producing a profusion of white blossom in May, followed by yellow fruits blushed with red that deepen to a dark glossy scarlet in time for Christmas. Crab Apple Red Sentinel makes an attractive & productive specimen tree for smaller gardens, with a long season of interest. Crab apple fruits can be harvested to make delicious crab apple jelly. Any unpicked fruits will soften after a few frosts to create a sumptuous food source for wild birds. Crab apples are self fertile & if planted near orchard apple trees make excellent pollinators. Rootstock: M26. Height & spread: 3m &40;10&41;. Please note, fruit trees will be despatched as early as possible this autumn, once they have gone dormant & are in the ideal condition for lifting from the nursery & for transplanting by our customers
