Description

Malus baccata is a magnificent, hardy Siberian Crab Apple tree that grows to a height of around 10 metres in 20 years. In mid to late spring, it becomes a majestic sight, adorned with abundant, fragrant white flowers. Through summer, its dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop for developing crab apples, which ripen into small, glossy red or yellow fruits on long stalks. These can persist well into winter, offering striking visual interest and supporting a variety of wildlife.

Malus baccata is tough and adaptable, tolerating wind exposure and extremely harsh winters. It thriving in full sun to partial shade and will grow in most well-drained soils. A wonderful tree with changing seasonal interest and a grand, enduring presence.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
