Malus 'White Star' is a modern English crab-apple. In spring it features a mass of star-like white flowers, whilst in the autumn it produces medium-sized golden russeted crab-apples. These stay on the tree until early winter and are useful for feeding wildlife.
The tree grows fairly quickly, and with a pleasing upright spreading shape.
Malus 'White Star' is easy to grow and generally untroubled by diseases.
Malus 'White Star' was developed by English fruit enthusiast Hugh Ermen. All his crab-apple and apple varieties tend to make good easy-growing garden trees.
Illustrative example of a pot-grown tree of this variety as supplied. Approximate girth: 6/8cm. Trees should reach their mature height after about 10 or more years.
