Crab Apple ‘Coralburst’

Perfect for bringing autumn colour to the patio! Crab Apple ‘Coralburst’ is a particularly dwarf variety. It has a naturally very compact habit and slow growth rate that makes it ideal for growing in large patio containers. Flowering in April, the deep pink buds open to reveal paler pink, double blooms. By Autumn these are replaced by orange-bronze fruits which are loved by wild birds, and persist on the branches long after the deciduous leaves have fallen. An ideal specimen tree for small gardens and confined spaces. Height: 2.5m (8’). Spread: 3m (10’).

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Generally crab apples are too tart to eat raw, but their apple flavour becomes intense when cooked. Cab apples have high pectin content great for jam and jellies, and are a perfect ingredient for chutneys.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
