Malus 'Pink Glow' (syn. 'Dolgo')

RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Tree Form: Cordon.


Available for delivery: late November/December - early May.


 

Crab apples (Malus) are related to the common apple and are grown for their lavish display of spring flowers and edible fruits which can be made into jelly. They are also very useful pollinators as they have a long flowering period and are often interplanted in commercial apple orchards to assist with pollination. Crab apples make ideal specimen trees and are suitable for smaller gardens. Our cordon crab apple trees are grafted onto M26 semi-dwarfing rootstock, which will produce a tree that is easy to grow, easy to control and easy to pick. Cordons should be restricted to 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) in height and can be spaced 60cm (2ft) apart. To ensure rapid establishment, cordons are supplied bare-rooted and unless otherwise stated will be approximately 1.2m (4ft) tall on despatch (including the roots). Trees are available from late November to late April.

 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
