The 'Wisley Crab' is a crab apple tree like no other; it features purple foliage and the largest crab apples cultivated to date. The leaves are a deep purple-green colour and they are accompanied by pretty carmine flowers in spring. Come autumn, the flowers have turned into huge, glossy-red crab apples which are the size of dessert apples. The crab apples can be made into crab apple jelly.
