These crab apples are all self-fertile, so they’ll produce fruit on their own without needing another pollinating tree

Malus hupehensis

A graceful crab apple. Flower buds are a soft pink in bud before opening to fresh white and the red fruits are surrounded by fiery orange and red foliage in autumn. Forms an upright, horizontally branching shape. Height: 5m (16½ft).

‘Rudolph’

A festive choice and it’s far from a gimmick and great if you have a big garden. The flower buds start off red before revealing warm pink blossom and the young leaves are a purple-red. The fruits start out a yellow-orange before maturing to cherry red. A good variety if you want to make jelly from the fruits. Height: 7m (23ft).
