If your tree starts to show signs of failure, for example if the leaves unexpectedly go brown, please contact us as early as possible and we can advise you on a course of action which could prevent eventual failure of the tree. If we believe that your tree has failed due to an innate problem with the tree then we will replace it if it has failed within the 2 year period. Please note that the trees will not be covered under the guarantee if they have been neglected in some way, i.e by a lack of watering or by being planted in unsuitable conditions.

Ideal for parks and new housing developments for families to enjoy picking the fruits and their seasonal features.Here at Mail Order Trees, we want our customers to buy with confidence, which is why we offer a 2 year guarantee on all of our trees. The wonderful crab apples remain on the branches long into the winter, ready to be picked and pulped into fresh apple sauce or desserts for the Christmas table. This Pectin is also what gels sugar, making jams and jellies without the need for animal gelatine. These apples are very flavoursome and have higher levels of the starch Pectin, making them firm and crunchy. During the late summer, the John Downie provides an abundance of large fruit brushed with the colours of rich marmalade and vibrant red.
The summer foliage is a pleasant glossy green, which mellows into buttery yellow as the summer fades. They are popular for bees, encouraging pollination of other Apple trees and plants in the area. These are tinged with wonderful shades of water-washed pink and subtle lilac from the still opening buds. At the end of Spring, this Malus produces beautiful white flowers that envelope the entire canopy.
This charming Malus is perhaps one of the most popular due to its fruit. He named the tree after his good friend and fellow nurseryman John Downie in his honour. Edward enjoyed the flavoursome taste of the fruit, leading to its commercial supply.
Raised by Edward Holmes at Whittington, England during the 1870s.
