12L Malus x robusta 'Red Sentinel' 1.5m

A crab apple tree that carries colour into the colder months

The Malus x robusta ‘Red Sentinel’ is chosen for the way it holds interest beyond the main growing season. After blossom in spring, it produces clusters of small red apples that remain on the branches well into winter.

It is a tree that brings continuity. Not just a moment of colour, but something that carries through the year.

Who this tree is for

This suits gardens where there is space for a feature that offers both seasonal change and lasting detail. It works well in lawns, borders or as part of mixed planting where colour and movement are valued.

It is often chosen by those who want a tree that continues to give interest after summer has passed.

Blossom followed by lasting fruit

In spring, the tree produces soft white blossom across its branches, creating a light and open display. As the season progresses, this gives way to bright red crab apples that form in clusters.

The fruit holds well into autumn and winter, adding colour at a time when many other trees have become bare, while also supporting birds.
