Malus 'Butterball' is a small crab apple tree with a wonderful spreading habit and almost becomes rounded when the tree is mature. The branches are a little pendulous, especially when weighted with fruits. In late spring, an abundance of pink-blushed white flowers open from pink buds- these are then replaced by the glowing autumn fruits. The 'Butterball' name can be explained when seeing the masses of rich golden-yellow fruits which appear in autumn. The fruits may have a pretty red flushing on the sunny side and they are great for attracting wildlife to your garden.
