The tree's distinctive red and yellow egg-shaped fruits are rich in pectin, making them perfect for homemade crab apple jellies, while the large number of fruits will also feed birds in the winter. This fast-growing tree has attractive orange and gold foliage in autumn before the leaves fall, ensuring year-round interest. Malus John Downie is also a great pollinator for domestic apple trees (Malus domestica), making it an excellent choice for orchards and gardens alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRootstock:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM106\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Fertile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYears until fruiting from planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge of tree at despatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at full growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12m\/40ft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of our trees are delivered as bare-rooted specimens with an approximate height of 3.5ft - 5ft (105cm - 140cm), depending on the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure good pollination by selecting fruit trees from the same or adjacent flowering groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery: November to early April\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vast majority of the trees we ship have been pruned and will appear trimmed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantroops United Kingdom","offers":[{"title":"1 x Bare Root Tree","offer_id":53710509801745,"sku":"11501180","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 10L Tree","offer_id":53710509834513,"sku":"11504028","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9853\/0065\/files\/11504028-Crab-Apple-Tree-John-Downie-IH-01.jpg?v=1782491504","url":"https:\/\/plantroops.co.uk\/products\/crab-apple-tree-john-downie","provider":"Plantroops United Kingdom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
