Crab Apple 'Royal Beauty'

With its gently weeping branches and rich pink spring blossom, ‘Royal Beauty’ makes a lovely feature in the garden. Its young purple-red leaves deepen to bronze-green through summer, followed by little dark red crab apples for visiting birds to enjoy.

Its cascading shape is especially pretty beside a lawn or path, where you can appreciate the flowers and fruit up close.

A compact, deciduous tree, it typically reaches around 2–3 metres tall, depending on the graft height. Choose a sunny spot with moist, well-drained soil, and water regularly while it settles in.
