Product Description
John Downie is one of the best fruiting crab apple trees, with a profusion of white flowers opening from pale pink buds from May to June, followed by attractive orange and red fruits in July which are perfect for making jelly. These are also highly decorative and an important food source for a multitude of birds and animals. Crabapples make perfect specimen trees and are suitable for the smaller garden.
