Malus John Downie is a variety of Crabapple that bears masses of pink buds that open into showy, single, white flowers that literally transform the tree in spring. These result in small, orange-red fruit in autumn. The foliage in spring emerges green, ages to a darker green, and then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide. Malus John Downie is commonly grown as an impressive specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere it can be appreciated.

Malus John Downie Details

Malus John Downie is a variety of Crabapple grown for its flowering and colourful fruits. Through spring it bears masses of pink buds that open into showy, single, white flowers that literally transform the tree.

Malus John Downie 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.
