Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) shrubs are a perfect addition to traditional native mixed hedging schemes. Its gorgeous cup-shaped pink flowers emerge from colourful red buds in spring, followed by little crab apples until autumn. Bees and other wildlife are attracted to the apple blossom. Crab Apple hedge plants can be stand-alone specimens as well. They are perfect for exposed and dry sites.
