The native crab apple (Malus sylvestris) is the parent of our apple orchards. It is a small (10m) attractive tree with small pale pink, lightly scented flowers in spring and yellow to red sharp crab apples in autumn for wildlife or jelly/wine making. The timber has a very fine texture suitable for turning, carving and making precision instruments such as set squares.
The folklore of apples is usually associated with finding true love and marriage.
Happy on all but waterlogged soils.
Represents Qu (Quert) in the tree alphabet.
About the trees
All the trees are sown from British seed. They are specially grown for maximum root development - the best start a tree can get. They are from quality certified stock and carry an EEC Plant Passport for export requirements. They are grown in pots so that they can be transplanted throughout the year and not just "in season" as is the case for bare rooted stock. The pot also protects the root system during transit and sustains the tree while waiting to be planted out in its new home. The description of the tree and the full planting instructions below are included with every gift.
Free personalised plant marker
To ensure your gift is cherished & nurtured for years to come each gift comes with a high quality plant marker, carefully engraved to your requirements. Our plant markers are made from specially etched and anodised aluminum, a material of traditional character, which will not compete with the plants for attention, but will last for decades. They are used worldwide in Botanical Gardens and Research Institutions & gardens open to public including the National Trust.
The standard plant marker is 6cm x 10cm and can accommodate 30 characters and also include the common & Latin name of the chosen tree.
NB: You will be prompted to enter your plaque message during the checkout process.
If you want to say more we offer an upgrade to a larger plant marker (9cm x 15cm), which can take 120 characters, for an additional £5.00.
Free gift wrapping
Each tree gift comes in a cute drawstring hessian bag. We then add a greetings card printed for the occasion with your personal message. Ribbons of your choice are added to the tree & swirled around the posting tube. We finish with a sprinkle of suitable confetti for the occasion! All tree gifts are packed in attractive purpose made tubes that have been tested against the rigors of postage by Royal Mail.
NB: Due to its nature, this product will be despatched to you directly from our supplier
