Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ – Crab Apple tree 8-10cm girth

Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ is a small, deciduous tree with an upright crown that rounds with age. It has dark green, oval leaves that emerge as bronze with red tinted stems, single white flowers in spring and clusters of glossy, cherry-like fruits in autumn. These fruits, commonly referred to as crabs or crab apples, turn to a glossy dark red and often stay on the tree through the winter. Reaching a mature height of 7m and growing well in full sun to partial shade in most moist, well draining soils, this tree is often planted as a specimen, ideal in any size garden, large mixed borders, parks, verges or woodland.
