So this was bought as a crab apple tree but these tiny things that grow on it don't look like crab apples to, me, was I lied to my my garden centre? It's been there for 6+ years now and this is what grows on it every year.
Any ideas folks?

Might be a crab apple, could you cut one fruit in half horizontally and one laterally and post the photos please ? Seeing what the insides are like ought to decide the matter.
( I bought a supposed plum tree from an internet site a few years ago, and got a crab-apple, but fortunately they refunded the purchase price) -
Thats them split, they're only the size of a pea.Comment

Google "red leaf crabapple tree" Several appear as possibilities but Royalty looks fairly close.Comment

Thanks, that definitely looks like it. The fruit looks too small to do anything with, I always just leave it for the birds.Comment

Crab apples usually makes quite good jam/jelly, if you like slightly tart conserves. Boil some up with a similar weight of sugar, then strain through a sieve to get rid of the bits.Comment

a cutting off that would make a great bonsai tree, with the tiny fruit making everything in scale, just the leaf size to be reduced..Originally posted by Darwin. View PostComment
