Description

This genus has about 35 species of deciduous flowering and fruiting trees. The leaves are simple and toothed, sometimes lobed. The flowers form clusters which vary from white to deep rose pink or deep reddish purple. They are fully hardy and will prefer full sun but will tolerate semi-shade. You can grow in any but waterlogged soil. You can propagate by budding in late summer or by grafting in mid-winter.

This has dark green leaves and white flowers borne in late spring. Deep red apples appear in autumn.
