Direct Plants Malus Golden Hornet Crab Apple Tree 4-5ft Tall By Direct Plants

From Direct Plants, Malus ‘Golden Hornet’ is a well-known ornamental Crab Apple Tree supplied as a bare root specimen approximately 4–5ft tall. Chosen for its balanced growth habit and long-lasting seasonal interest, it brings structure to lawns, borders and mixed planting schemes, with a naturally spreading shape as it matures.

In spring, masses of white blossom appear, followed by clusters of bright golden-yellow crab apples from late summer into winter. The fruits persist well after leaf fall, adding colour through the colder months and supporting garden wildlife. Fully hardy and adaptable, it grows well in most well-drained soils and can be planted in full sun or partial shade, either directly in the ground or in a large container.
