MM106
Semi vigorous, Approximate height 3-4 metres when mature.

Bare Root = Field grown trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
10 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.

situation

Most suburban situations provide good pollen due to the close proximity of other gardens. It is not always necessary to have pollinators if the bees and other pollinating insects are generous with their visits. If you have no other Apple tree close by then select two varieties in the same group or the adjoining group ie group 2 and 4 will pollinate group 3 as will any others in group 3. Some varieties are self fertile.

Golden Hornet Crab Apple - This charming Malus provides beautiful displays of seasonal colour. As springtime matures at the end of April, Golden Hornet erupts with brilliant white flowers that envelop the entire canopy. These are tinged with wonderful shades of water-washed pink and subtle lilac. A small upright tree producing bright yellow fruits in the autumn. One of the best fruiting crabs for general planting. Golden Hornet fruits are good for jellies. Golden Hornet is a very good variety for cross pollinating other Apple trees.

I received my Malus Golden Hornet and Red Sentinal trees yesterday 8th June both individually packed together with supporting accessories in excellent condition and look forward to seeing them grow in our garden. Having had raspberry canes from you in the past (different email address) I fully recommend the quality of your products the ease of using your web site and the care taken in seeing the items are packed and delivered in good condition by your courier.

I love receiving a crate of Blackmoor trees as I know they will always exceed my expectations. Today is no exception. Thank you very much for my great Golden Hornet!

A great choice for yellow crabs, doesn't last as long as the Red Ssentinel, probably late December, I've also got Comtesse de Paris but mine's too small to have fruited yet to compare. But Golden Hornet certainly delivers the fruit and all the way from the bottom of the tree up. Size of fruit is about a large Cherry.

Very healthy vigorous tree, full of fruit in it`s first year, recomended by blackmoors for it`s fruit and i`d definatly second that.

This is my third order - the first two orders were larger order and I found the site very clear and easy to use with plenty of information on each variety which allowed me to make informed choices on varieties suitable for growing this far north. Will be back again (and again !)
