Direct Plants Malus Director Moerland Crab Apple Tree 5-6ft Tall By Direct Plants

From Direct Plants, Malus ‘Director Moerlands’ is an ornamental Crab Apple Tree chosen for its deep pink spring blossom and distinctive burgundy-purple fruits. Supplied as a bare root tree approximately 5–6ft tall, it brings seasonal interest to gardens where an upright, neat habit suits lawns, borders and more formal planting schemes.

In spring, this variety produces masses of dark pink flowers, followed by glossy, wine-coloured crab apples that often persist into winter. Fully hardy and adaptable, it performs well in most soil types and prefers a sunny or lightly shaded position. It is best suited to planting directly into the ground, though it can also be grown in a large container where its size can be managed.
