Red Sentinel
A charmingly fragrant crab apple.
A small rounded tree, pink buds in April opening into white blushed fragrant flowers followed by large bright red fruits. Unless picked the fruits will remain on the tree throughout winter providing a colourful natural bird feeder.
They are self-fertile and as with most crab apples excellent pollinators. The beautiful dark green leaves turn a wonderful golden colour in the autumn. The fruit laden branches make stunning Christmas decorations.
Red Sentinel prefer fertile, moist, loamy soil but are also clay tolerant. They will thrive in full sun or part shade. It requires minimal pruning late winter or spring, also a suitable variety for wall training.
