Need help picking?
Which crabapple tree is best for your garden?
Our crabapple collection includes four RHS Award of Garden Merit winners, including Evereste (large white flowers and red berries) and Sun Rival, a weeping variety. John Downie is our choice for blossom, being covered in clusters of white flowers each spring, while the Japanese Crabapple has fragrant pink blossoms and dark red fruits. Compact Jelly King may be the smallest variety, but is also the best for jam and jelly. To find your perfect crabapple tree, read more about them.
What grows well with crabapples?
Crabapples are joyfully unfussy trees. They grow best in a sunny spot, but will tolerate a little afternoon shade; the soil type doesn’t matter as long as it’s well drained and kept moist. Water your tree regularly for the first year, then leave it to its own devices unless the weather’s particularly hot and dry. Your tree will appreciate a yearly feed and mulch, too. You don’t have to prune crabapples, but if you do, late winter or early spring is the time. Harvest your crabapples between September and November to make crabapple jelly - or leave them for the birds to enjoy.

Crabapple FAQs
Where should I plant a crabapple tree?
The crab apple prefers a sunny, open environment with plenty of space with well-drained, enriched soil.
How do I care for a crabapple tree?
Water your crabapple tree regularly during its first year by maintaining an even moisture over its root zone.
Should I prune a crabapple tree?

How quickly do crabapple trees grow UK?

They certainly don’t ask for much! In terms of size, crab apple trees are quite compact, making them a good choice for smaller gardens and there are also a number of advantages to planting a crabapple, so if you’re undecided here’s 3 reasons why you should go for it: they are a lovely sight, highly productive and great for surrounding wildlife.
