Vigorous tree with dense clusters of flowers early May followed by green crab apples in autumn suitable for jam, jelly and wine. Any well drained fertile soil. Crab apples are good pollinators for fruiting apples.
Can grow up to 6m tall.
The timber has a hard close grain and is used for wood carving, inlay work, mallets, screws. Its also makes a good firewood with pleasant aroma, maybe the shavings etc are good for the BBQ flavour.
