Crab Apple Tree Varieties - Malus sylvestris
Crab apple trees really go to work for you: their profuse flowers and bright fruit have great ornamental value, most of them make the best possible pollinators for your regular apple trees and the crab apples themselves can be cooked and used in jams, sauces, savoury dishes or as a special ingredient in cider. A native crab apple tree is fantastic for attracting wildlife to your garden, supporting up to a hundred types of insect, including bees and several butterfly species, while birds such as greenfinches and starlings will be drawn to the fruit in autumn. You can buy your crab apple trees in three sizes, known as standards, to suit your budget and patience. We are able to offer you great deals because we only sell by mail order. All trees are lifted to order and we can provide you with all the necessary accessories to ensure that your trees get off to a roaring start.
