Wedding Bouquet is a charming bushy tree and easy to grow and disease resistant.
All Crab Apple trees are self-fertile and will thrive in city gardens and are helpful for pollution. To please them, do give them a sunny position to encourage the best display of blossom and fruit. Very accommodating, they are happy in most soil types including clay.
When planting, incorporate well-rotten compost into a planting hole. Remember to stake firmly. Light pruning in winter, removing any dead or diseased branches.
An added asset is they are generally a good pollinator for domestic apples which is very useful when space is a factor.
Light pruning in winter, removing any dead or diseased branches.
