The Malus ‘Butterball’ is a beautiful variety of ornamental crab apple tree that produces masses of delightful scented white flowers that are flushed pink. These wonderful flowers are great for attracting bees and pollinators into your garden, which has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have added it to their Plants for Pollinators Collection.
As the flowers fade, the beautiful foliage gradually changes from grey green to a vibrant mid-green shade that looks magnificent against the fruit. Appearing in tight clusters, the crab apples emerge in vibrant shades of yellow and orange, flushed with red. The weight of this new fruit means that the branches gently droop to create an elegant arch.
This wonderful ornamental crab apple tree has a host of features that you will want to admire throughout the seasons. It is also easy to grow and healthy, which has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit. So you can enjoy the added peace of mind that this beautiful tree will grow well for many years to come.
To get the most from this Malus ‘Butterball’ Tree simply plant it in a bright and sunny spot in your garden, in moist, well-drained soil. It can be planted in most soil types and is full hardy and suited to the UK climate.
