Stunning white flowers blooming from pink buds in May

Distinctive red and yellow egg-shaped fruits, excellent for making crab apple jelly

Superb autumn colour with orange and gold leaves

'Malus John Downie' is a well-known and much-loved crab apple tree, bursting into bloom in May with an abundance of white flowers that emerge from pink buds. The tree's distinctive red and yellow egg-shaped fruits are rich in pectin, making them perfect for homemade crab apple jellies, while the large number of fruits will also feed birds in the winter. This fast-growing tree has attractive orange and gold foliage in autumn before the leaves fall, ensuring year-round interest. Malus John Downie is also a great pollinator for domestic apple trees (Malus domestica), making it an excellent choice for orchards and gardens alike.
