'Wedding Bouquet' Crabapple Tree
- Red, green and white is a classic colour combination (just ask the Italians) and that's exactly what the crabapple 'Wedding Bouquet' offers. With serrated green leaves, porcelain white blossoms and cherry-red fruits, this lovely variety is as elegant as they come.
- Starting off upright, the tree widens and spreads with time to give a dense, bushy tree once mature. With an ultimate height of roughly four metres, this cultivar is perfect as a feature tree in a small garden or as one of several trees in larger gardens and orchards.
- The crabapples remain on the tree well into winter, injecting a jolt of colour into what can be an otherwise bleak period of the year, as far as the garden's concerned.
- Recognised as one of the RHS's Plants for Pollinators, this tree will attract a wealth of bees and butterflies.
- A seriously impressive performer, 'Wedding Bouquet' has been awarded the RHS's Award of Garden Merit, indicating how well it does in British gardens.
