Malus Rob Red Sentinel

Malus Red Sentinel is a fruiting Crab Apple that was brought into cultivation in 1959, a true bird feeder from nature. White blushed, fragrant flowers emerge from pink buds in April followed by large bright red fruits, which often last all through winter, providing a wonderful source of food for birds. Crab apples are a very good source of pollen which helps to ensure good fruit production across the Orchard. Although the apples produced from a crab apple are usually not edible straight from the tree, they can be easily turned into a fantastic jelly, providing another crop from the orchard.
