Crab Apple 'Diable Rouge'

Crab Apple 'Diable Rouge' is a compact, deciduous tree. It has a rounded, spreading habit. This makes it an attractive focal point in cottage gardens and orchards. This is a lovely, edible crab apple tree with crisp, sharply flavoured, deep-red fruits. These fruits stay on the tree well into the winter. In the spring, Crab Apple 'Diable Rouge' is a particularly lovely cultivar. Pink blooms nestle among the foliage, which emerges a deep purple colour before deepening to green in the summer. As autumn approaches and the leaves turn a rich, buttery yellow, the foliage becomes equally appealing. Height: 2.5m (8?). Spread: 3m (10?).
