Stunning bright red fruits and pink-flushed white blossom

Malus x astrosanguinea ‘Gorgeous’ is a heavy-fruiting tree which produces distinctive glossy red fruits, which remain throughout autumn and into winter. As with all crab apples, ‘Gorgeous’ is very popular with bees, and thus will bring more pollinators into your garden, which is a blessing if you have other apple trees. ‘Gorgeous’ is especially good as a pollinator for all apple trees, and flowers throughout the pollination season, which gives it more chance to pollinate more trees. The fruits of this tree can sometimes be eaten fresh, although they can be sour. They are better stewed and used as jams, as they have high levels of pectin, which helps with the setting of jam.
