Crab Apple 'Jelly King'

• Large orange-pink crab apples ideal for jelly, jam and cooking
• Beautiful spring display of delicate white blossom
• Semi-dwarfing rootstock for a manageable garden-sized tree
• Hardy, low-maintenance and excellent for orchard pollination

Crab Apple ‘Jelly King’ is a compact yet highly productive variety, prized for its generous crops of large orange-pink crab apples that are perfect for making rich, flavoursome jellies, jams and preserves. The fruit hangs well on the tree, extending the harvest window and adding seasonal colour to the garden.

In spring, the tree is smothered in delicate white blossom, creating a soft, ornamental display that also attracts bees and other beneficial pollinators. As the season progresses, the developing fruit brings both visual interest and culinary value to garden orchards large and small.

Grafted onto semi-dwarfing MM106 rootstock, ‘Jelly King’ grows to a manageable size while maintaining strong, reliable cropping. It performs well across a wide range of soil types and is hardy and low maintenance, making it an excellent choice for UK gardens.
