‘Butterball’ Crabapple Tree
- An incredibly charming crabapple cultivar, ‘Butterball’ impresses with its gently arching branches, white blooms (which emerge from lovely pink buds) and fruits suffused with gently crackling tones of orange, yellow and red.
- Perfect as a feature tree, you can harvest your crabapples (if you get to them before the birds) and use them to make a delicious crabapple jelly. Crabapples are naturally high in pectin, making them a naturally good option for jams and jellies.
- Fully hardy and easy to grow, requiring little to no pruning, ‘Butterball’ is an excellent option for those gardeners wanting both ornamental and culinary rewards from their trees.
- Like all crabapples, this variety is recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) as one of its Plants for Pollinators, attracting a wealth of bees and butterflies.
- ‘Butterball’ has received the RHS’s Award of Garden Merit, indicating its stellar performance in British gardens.
