  • 'Crimson Cascade' is a crabapple with some serious ornamental firepower. The tree's delicately weeping boughs are adorned with purple-tinged green leaves in the spring, which go on to develop attractive bronze and copper hues come autumn.
  • Alongside the fabulous foliage, this tree also produces elegant crimson-to-magenta blossoms in spring, as well as dusky purple crabapples (which are loved by birds) from late summer, often persisting for several months.
  • Perfect for medium-sized gardens, growing to just four-and-a-half metres tall, this cultivar is the very definition of a feature tree. Offering genuine year-round interest (the weeping branches look incredibly graceful when bare in winter) and an easygoing nature, few trees come close to this pink and purple powerhouse.
  • Use your harvest of crabapples to make a homemade jelly, which you can then spread on buttered toast, serve with cheese and cold meats or offer up alongside roast pork.
  • Crabapple trees have been recognised by the RHS with its Plants for Pollinators designation, indicating its benefits to pollinating insects like butterflies and bees.
