This gorgeous white crab apple tree is perfect for the small garden and when in blossom it makes a stunning centre-piece. What a way to say Happy Birthday!

The Malus Gorgeous is a flowering crab apple and has an average height of 2-4 metres x 2-3 metres wide. It is a very pretty deciduous New Zealand hybrid. Small tree with masses of small pink buds opening to single white flowers in spring. Red fruits can be used in cooking. Single trunk with upright branches which can become open and pendulous under the weight of fruit. Best grown in a protected sunny site in rich fertile soil. This attractive tree, which is one of the most popular of the crab apples, is rightly called 'Gorgeous'. At less than 3m tall, it is only a small tree. The bright crimson-red fruit, touched with orange on the underside, is borne in heavy clusters on long stems. While the flowers are quite insipid, the budding branches are often used in floral arrangements. The fruit makes an excellent jelly. M. 'Gorgeous' grows in any soil, including heavy clay, and is resistant to most diseases. It's perfect for a sunny part of any cool-climate garden but also loves a heavy frost.
