Malus Jelly King

Malus Jelly King Details

Malus Jelly King is a variety of Crabapple grown for its flowering and colourful fruits. Through spring it bears masses of crimson buds that open into showy, fragrant, single, white flowers. These result in medium-sized, orange-pink fruit in autumn which attract all manner of wildlife. The foliage in spring emerges green, ages to a darker green, and then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. The branches tend to be horizontal, if not somewhat pendulous in nature. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Malus Jelly King performs best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates. This Crabapple is commonly grown as an impressive specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere it can be appreciated.
