  A very pretty crab apple, that makes an excellent addition to smaller gardens. In spring, the branches are clothed in a mass of large fragrant double pink flowers just as the new leaves start to appear, making this a really special addition to the garden. Ideal for a small garden or as a feature in a spring border underplanted with bulbs. Also makes a good specimen planted in a large patio pot.
  
  
• Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Remove dead, diseased and crossing branches while the tree is dormant.
