John Downie Crabapple
The heavy fruiting crab apple 'John Downie' was raised in Lichfield England in 1875 by Mr E Holmes. It was named after his friend and fellow nurseryman John Downie from Scotland. The tree, which resembles a free grown orchard apple in size and shape, has white blossom which starts off pale pink in bud. The 4cm round or conical apples are bright yellow to orange a with a red flush on the sunny side. They are good to eat when fully ripe, and make a most delicious jelly. This very popular cultivar is suitable for most sheltered lowland situations.
