Notes

'John Downie' crabapple (Malus 'John Downie') is a tree grown for its culinary fruit. It bears white flowers and has green leaves that blend well with other plants in the yard. The fruit is ready for picking late in the season, so be patient and give it time. This tree is self-fertile, so a single tree can set fruit on its own. You do not need a second tree for pollination, which saves space in a small yard.

Pairs well with Colorado blue spruce, Rhododendron, and Japanese pachysandra.
