Description

An excellent choice of tree for edible crab apples, Malus x 'Harry Baker' is grown for its exceptionally colourful, dark pink flowers in spring and its large, ruby-red fruit in autumn. These fruit are larger then those of the other crab apples listed here and particularly suitable for cooking and by all accounts make a great crab apple jelly!
