Description

This wonderful Crab Apple tree is an excellent choice for year-round interest. Possessing a spreading habit and graceful weeping form, the pendulous branches of this tree are smothered in pretty white-pink flowers that open from red-pink buds in the spring. The blooms of this Malus Candied Apple are followed by small, rich red fruits which are very popular with hungry birds, maturing in the autumn and remaining on the tree through to winter. Its ovate leaves emerge in the spring a deep wine-red colour, gradually changing to a dark green in the summer and yellow in the autumn.

Preferring a full sun position and a moist, well-draining soil, this Weeping Candied Apple would make a fantastic specimen plant thanks to its showy floral display and elegantly cascading form. It will reach an approximate height and spread of 4 x 4 metres in 20 years.

AKA ‘Weepcanzam’, Malus ‘Weepcanzam’

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.

Aftercare Advice

Crab Apple trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

You can harvest culinary Crab Apples in early autumn or leave them for birds to enjoy. The trees should be pruned in winter but do not require hard pruning. Avoid trimming the tips of branches. Simply remove any dead or damaged branches and shoots at the base of the tree i.e. suckers and water sprouts.
