Direct Plants Malus John Downie Crab Apple Tree 120-150cm Tall By Direct Plants

From Direct Plants, Malus ‘John Downie’ is a bare root Crab Apple Tree chosen for its spring blossom and its culinary fruit. Supplied at approximately 120–150cm tall, this well-known variety brings seasonal interest to gardens and planting schemes, with clusters of white flowers in spring followed by heavy crops of large orange-red crab apples.

The distinctive pear-shaped fruits have a sharp-sweet flavour and are suitable for jellies, preserves and cooking. With a balanced, upright habit, ‘John Downie’ suits a sunny or lightly shaded position and grows well in most well-drained soils. It is best planted directly into the ground, though it can also be grown in a suitably sized container.
