Malus John Downie – the small crabapple with the cherriest of fruit. We are about to plant an avenue of these trees on a hilltop (if you can call a Suffolk rise in the ground that). A wildflower meadow has been seeded around them.

Than is going to be a magical spot.
Oh…that sounds lovely! That will be an avenue to often walk down. I was given a gift of a crabapple tree this past summer, and I look forward to watching it grow and extend its beauty.
Sounds beautiful…I can imagine what a serene, peaceful spot that will be.
A lovely choice of planting, it will be lovely. Christina
Oh Catharine it sounds like heaven. I cannot wait to see pictures of it in the future…
That sounds delightful Catharine, an avenue of this very ornamental tree. Looking forward to seeing photos of it in the future!
the birds and bees are going to love this – people will gasp in wonder too as it will be seen for miles on your hillock 😉 A brilliant idea
I love crabapples – and this particular one looks absolutely fabulous! An avenue of them will be heaven to walk through when they’re flowering!
I have never ever had my own apple tree. Yours looks wonderful! I love crabapples, my childhood was surrounded by them.
Oh, my! You have suddenly brought back memories of my grandmother’s crabapples, planted in a row on a hilltop. I loved the beautiful spring blooms and the tart fruit. Your avenue of crabapples surrounded by a meadow of wildflowers will create magical memories, too!
It will look lovely at this time of year….
We don’t have apples trees in the country, we just import them from temperate climes. They look very ornamental both during flowering and when laden with fruits.
Would love to see them all planted!
