The Native Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) is a true British classic โ€” a small, deciduous tree loved for its fragrant spring blossom, golden autumn fruit, and exceptional wildlife value. As one of the UKโ€™s few native fruit trees, it adds heritage charm and biodiversity to gardens, orchards, and natural planting schemes. This bare root tree is ideal for planting during the dormant season and establishes quickly once in the ground.
