Full Description

Description: Malus Crab Apple ‘Bunbury White’ is a beautiful and unusual crab apple that produces a profusion of impressive white blossom in spring. A unique feature of this variety is that the blossom is pure white from flower bud emergence which is very rare in Malus (which often start pink in bud). The fruit of this crab apple look like mini apples hanging from the branches. Long stalks with a slightly pink blush to them which turn dark maroon when ripe. The fruit can be used for making jams, jellies, pickling and as a natural bird feeder throughout the winter. Ideal for small gardens or as part of a mixed border. 

Malus Growing Tips: Crab Apples are self-fertile, and very useful as pollinators for a variety of fruit trees. Full sun or part shade lover, best grown in fertile, moist, deep, loamy soils. Requires minimal pruning in late winter or spring to remove damaged, diseased or misplaced growth.
