John Downie

A crab apple originating in the UK. Grows to a largish tree and bears ridiculously heavy crops of acid but quite acceptably edible crabs. Longish in shape and striped orange when ripe. This is the one for crab apple jelly.

  • Ripening Time: June - July
  • Fertility: Partially Self-Fertile, produces viable pollen
  • Growth Habit: Free standing tree growing to around 2 - 3.5m tall and 3-4m wide.
  • Rootstock: Semi-Dwarfing rootstock
  • Chill Tolerance: Normal chill
  • Pollination is far simpler than most people think. Generally, unless self fertile simply get 2 or more different varieties in the same group (eg pears) to ensure adequate pollination. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in our Pollination Guide
  • More information on Espaliering
  • More information in our Articles and on planting and pruning.
