Description This beautifully wrapped Wild Apple is a pretty, deciduous tree with an abundance of delicate blossoms every spring and dainty apples, which ripen in autumn. It will happily grow in any garden and is great for wildlife, especially our honey bees and garden birds. This deciduous tree naturally sheds its leaves every autumn and will remain in its dormant phase all winter. Fresh, new leaves will grow in spring and it’s well worth the wait.

Details When you place your order a Wild Apple tree, (total height 50cm+ or 30cm+) botanical name: Malus sylvestris, will be freshly selected by our devoted gardeners here, before being carefully wrapped and placed in its luxury parcel. This Apple tree is quite happy to be lightly pruned in early spring and will reach a height of 4 metres in 10 years, if allowed to grow naturally. A card with your personal message, the story of the Wild Apple tree's ancient symbolism and a full care guide is also enclosed with your gift. Add a personalised brass heart, star or plaque (see images) engraved with your message so this special gift is always remembered. Symbolism Since ancient times the Apple Tree has been known as ‘the tree of love’ and symbolised good health and future happiness. To read more about the Apple tree's ancient symbolism click here. Tree Care Every tree is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just natural daylight and water. We have added special nutrients to your Apple tree’s compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will gradually release into the soil to ensure your tree continues to flourish. In a few weeks, plant your tree, still in its organic pot, in a large flower pot (one with holes so excess water can drain away) or in a sunny spot in the garden. The Present Tree's Organic Plant Care Kit is packed with all the health-boosting goodness suitable for your Wild Apple tree. Click here for more details.
