- White blossom in spring, golden fruit in autumn
- Great for jellies and feeding garden birds
- Self-fertile and ideal for pollinating apples
Crab Apple ‘Golden Hornet’ is a stunning tree that offers a long season of interest for smaller gardens. In spring, the tree produces delicate white cup-shaped blossoms that contrast beautifully with the green foliage. These flowers are followed by an impressive crop of golden-yellow fruits, which remain on the tree well into winter, creating a striking autumn and winter display. The fruits are ideal for making crab apple jelly, and unpicked apples soften after a few frosts, providing food for wild birds. This self-fertile variety makes an excellent pollinator for orchard apple trees, and it thrives in a variety of garden sizes. With its attractive appearance and practical uses, ‘Golden Hornet’ is a must-have for anyone looking to add beauty and functionality to their garden. Enjoy the beauty of its blossoms, fruits, and its ability to support local wildlife. How to Grow Instructions: Light: Plant in full sun or partial shade. Temperature: Best suited to temperate climates. Watering: Water regularly, especially in dry weather. Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring. Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity. Included Varieties: Crab Apple ‘Golden Hornet’ - Self-fertile tree with white spring blossoms and golden fruits perfect for jellies and bird food.
