Malus 'Rosehip'
crab apple
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May
- Flower colour: white
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Recently introduced, the rounded, red fruit of this fine, small tree have pronounced calyces, which (as the name suggests), makes them look like rosehips. The white flowers that appear in late spring put on a good show too. Perfect for smaller gardens, they provide interest off and on throughout the year and will never get too large and unmanageable. - Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Removed dead, diseased and crossing branches while the tree is dormant.
