40/60cm Bare Root Crab Apple
(Malus sylvestris)

Crab Apple hedging will bring colour, life, and style to your garden with its blossoms of flowers and fruits every year. The stunning, summery flowers are popular with the bees, and the edible crab apples make delicious jellies! We highly recommend picking these miniature, sour, green-yellow apples just after the first frost.

Don't forget- you must plant your Crab Apple Bare Roots as soon as you can after they're delivered. Do not leave the plant for any longer than a couple of days (in which they must stay moist during this time).

Your Crab Apple plant can reach an ultimate height of 5m and will look amazing if planted as part of a native hedge- but you can plant as a single specimen, too, of course.

  • Growth rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 5m+ Tall
  • Soil type: Normal, chalk, clay
  • Exposure: Inland, exposed, coastal
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? No

When your bare root Crab Apple arrives, place it straight into a bucket of water for around 2 hours, or more. The roots must be wet before planted. Ensure you also keep the plant moist during its development- do not let it become waterlogged, however.

Stick to pruning your plant around twice a year- first off in the cold days of Spring, then later in the early Winter. Make sure there are no chances of frosts arriving, and that the plant is dormant, too.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
