Malus x robusta ‘Red Sentinel’ | Crabapple Tree

Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ is a heavy-fruiting tree which produces large, distinctive ruby-red, jewel-like fruits which remain throughout autumn and into winter. In Spring the tree flowers profusely a bloom of beautiful white flowers giving you a range of rich tones and colours throughout the seasons! Although the fruit may too sour to eat fresh it is often used to make fantastic jellies and jams due to the high levels of pectin. If you won’t eat the fruit then the birds certainly will and with the early bloom lending a helping hand to the pollinators coming out of winter this tree is recognised as a wildlife benefactor!
