Mystery tree...?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help identify this tree please. Flowered in April. The fruit is on the tree now only about 7-8mm in diameter. There only seems to be two sizeable pips in each, but I suspect there are more just less formed within.

The smaller oval leaves are usual, but it has sent out the larger lobed leaves higher up in the canopy this year. Some are purple on the underside others just green...

It is around 65 years old, and about 10m tall although was worked on about 15 years ago.

I guess a malus if some sort but any more specific would be great to know. 49db6ff7-2125-4e67-9ebf-f30279ff04b5.jpgbd11689d-fe51-4ced-a439-1574186b6259.jpgIMG_3905.jpgIMG_3906.jpgIMG_3904.jpgIMG_3897.jpgIMG_3899.jpgIMG_3898.jpgIMG_3901.jpgIMG_3902.jpgIMG_3900.jpg

Well it grows in very sandy soil between 4 very large spruce trees, so I don’t imaging it would waste any drawn up fluid in plumping up its fruit. I’d say they never get bigger than 10mm max.
They are never red either, always the same maroony colour similar to the darker leaves.
What book are you using to reference? I was just in the Collins tree guide but I noticed you were hot on another crab apple in another thread BonzerBob
