  • Medium tree - grows up to 4m

Description

  • Adorn your garden with this flowering crabapple tree displaying unusually large white blooms in mid-spring which turn pink in later months
  • Very attractive red crab apples are excellent for jam making but you can also share them with birds, who will be very grateful especially in winter time
  • Dark green foliage appearing with blossom in mid-spring will turn amber in autumn
  • Excellent fire blight resistance
  • Proudly holds the RHS Award of Golden Merit
  • Grows to 4mx4.5m
  • Easy to maintain and hardy tree, thriving in all moist and well-drained soils
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
  • Our mature trees are grown in Air-PotsÂŽ, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-PotÂŽ made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-PotÂŽ to your basket along with your tree.

Best plants you will ever get online

I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Satisfied customer

Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.

A really good quality tree

A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
