Malus ‘Royalty’ (Crab Apple royalty)

Description

Malus ‘Royalty’ has distinctive dark mahogany foliage that turns to scarlet in Autumn. The deep pink springtime apple blossom is followed by dark red fruits that make a fabulous crab apple jelly. Any unpicked fruits will soften after a few frosts to create a sumptuous food source for wild birds. Like all crab apples, Malus ‘Royalty’ thrives on most soils and is especially useful for planting on clay soils.
