Malus x robusta 'Red Sentinel' is a broadly upright deciduous tree which is planted for its ever-changing year round interest. In spring, the bright green leaves emerge and remain green throughout summer before turning golden-yellow in autumn. Spring also brings a scatter of pretty pink-white flowers which cover the tree and contrast beautifully with the green leaves. In autumn the flowers are replaced by small, cherry-like fruits that have a glossy coating. This tree is the perfect choice for adding a burst of colour to your garden all year round.
