The Flowering Crab Apples are deservedly one of the most popular ornamental trees to be found in our gardens. The flowering season is April and May when glorious pink and white blossom is produced. Many varieties have the added bonus of attractive, edible fruits in the autumn. With few exceptions they are easy to cultivate, small to medium sized trees that will thrive in a sunny position in well drained soil.

Crab Apple Tree
Common Name: Crab Apple TreeLatin Name: Malus 'Butterball'Soil: Fertile, well-drained soilPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: April to May/ White, pink flushed.Hardiness: Fully hardyHeight and spread in 10 years: 4m x 3mSpecial features: Masses of flowers followed by bright yellow fruit. Malus 'Butterball' is a small crab apple tree with a wonderful spreading habit and almost becomes rounded when the tree is mature. The branches are a little pendulous, especially when weighted with fruits. In late spring, an abundance of pink-blushed white flowers open from pink buds- these are then replaced by the glowing autumn fruits. The 'Butterball' name can be explained when seeing the masses of rich golden-yellow fruits which appear in autumn. The fruits may have a pretty red flushing on the sunny side and they are great for attracting wildlife to your garden.
