Crab Apple

I really love my Crab Apple. I bought it in 2018 and it lived for a bit on the roof terrace and then fell over. It’s in a pot at the bottom of the garden. One day I might have to plant it out.

It has the most lovely blossom in the Spring that turn into apples that glow all the way through the winter. They are still on the tree when the new buds start growing.

Sometimes it gets wooly aphids. And I stand on a chair and brush them off with a toothbrush.

Jan 2021 – it probably needs pruning but I don’t know how. I reckon I don’t need to worry about it for a couple of years
