John Downie Crab apple (Malus John Downie)

Malus John Downie Crab Apple -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 and with a red flush on the sunny side. They are good to eat when fully ripe, and make a most delicious and colourful apple jelly jam. This very popular cultivar is suitable for most sheltered lowland situations.
