A Malus ‘John Downie’, or Crab Apple Tree, is a wonderful tree that has bright white and delicate pink, fragrant flowers that bloom through April and May. This transforms into fruit as the flowers begin to fade, which appear in magnificent shades of ruby red and amber.
This crab apple tree is beautiful and one to admire through the seasons, but it is also known for its wonderful abundant fruit and excellent flavour. You can leave the fruit on the tree for the birds to enjoy through the colder winter months, or you can use it to make a wide range of culinary dishes such as jams and jellies or crumbles and ciders.
The Malus ‘John Downie’, or crab apple tree, is easy to grow and has received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit for its consistent and reliable growth. It is also a great way to attract birds and bees, and a host of other pollinators, to your garden.
