YouGarden Crab Apple 'Red Sentinel' Standard Patio Fruit Tree in a 3L Pot 90cm Tall, Potted Ready to Plant Out Apples Fruit Trees for Gardens and Orchard, Grow Your Own Fruit Trees

Description

A wonderful standard Crab Apple Tree, the branches of 'Red Sentinel' erupt with beautiful pinkish-white blossom through spring, filling the garden with a lovely sweet fragrance. This really does flower its socks off in spring, and is an excellent source of pollen for nearby apple trees, a method often used in commercial orchards. The flowers are followed in autumn by bright cherry-red rounded fruits that darken in colour as they remain on the tree into the winter. This variety looks particularly unique once the leaves fall, as the red fruits remain firmly in place. Fashioned by expert growers into a beautiful standard tree with a lollipop head, 'Red Sentinel' is ideal in sunny beds and borders, where it creates a striking feature tree. Perfect for pots on the patio, it's incredibly easy to care for, with just a prune to size needed once a year in early spring. Totally winter hardy, anywhere in the UK. Make your own delicious, home-made crab apple jelly with the mini fruits after harvest! What's more, this tree is perfect for nature lovers, as any fruit you don't pick will provide a plentiful source of food for wild birds - they are sure to be thankful! Plus, bees and other beneficial insects will love the gorgeous blossom. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. This variety is also recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'. Supplied as a standard lollipop tree, 90cm tall including the 3L pot, ready to plant, display, or pot on.
