If there was a Desert Island Discs for trees (unlikely) and I was ever invited to be a guest on the programme (the odds are lengthening now) the crab apple would definitely be one of my chosen. Unbeatable blossom, fruit that is both beautiful and delicious (with a little culinary assistance), fine autumn colour and friend to the wildlife. Ask me a tricky one!

Looking great, especially on a blue sky 😉

That bright blue sky is just as welcome as those lovely orangey fruit, another for your ‘perfect’ category?.

I agree, I always think the lovely Malus genus is underrated. Here is a tricky one, which is your favourite?

That is tricky, I love Evereste but Red Sentinel is just stunning! What about you?

It is a tricky one. Transitoria and Charlottae are long time favourites. Charlotte has delicately fragrant flowers. Indian Magic and Jelly King are 2 new ones that have caught my eye recently. I love them all; if I had room I would make a grove of them. In fact in a previous garden that is just what I did.
