In mid-to-late Spring, the tree is completely transformed by a profusion of fragrant, pink-tinged white blossoms that emerge from deep magenta buds. But what truly sets 'Appletini' apart is its fruit. While most crab apples are too tart to eat fresh, 'Appletini' produces a generous crop of bite-sized, cherry-red apples about the size of a ping-pong ball. These miniature fruits are remarkably sweet, crunchy, and juicy - making them a perfect \"snack from the tree\" for children or a unique addition to lunchboxes. The fruits ripen to a glossy, rich red in late Summer and can hold on the branches well into Autumn, providing a spectacular ornamental display. With its naturally compact and upright habit, 'Appletini' is an ideal choice for urban courtyards, small garden borders, or even large patio containers. It is self-fertile, meaning it will produce a bountiful crop even if planted as a solitary specimen. It also has good resistance to scab, mildew and canker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003ePrefers a sheltered, sunny spot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefers fertile, well drained soil, hates wet feet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003ePrefers full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring,  Summer Autumn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eFully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-10’ (2-3m) \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 5-6’ (1.5-2m)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 10L \/ Bush form","offer_id":53697763443015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_245859d5-e2a7-49f4-983a-9d01bdaa5832.jpg?v=1776156044","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/malus-appletini","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
