I think this is the best red crab you can buy. They're healthy, beautifully shaped trees, the crabs last and last. I still have a good show now 28/2/15, they usually are just gone within days when the tree starts to flower. Size of the fruit is about the size of a morello cherry. Pink flowers. I think I've got 8 crabapples and this is my favourite one. If I were to have just one it would be this one.
