Well suited to gardens of all sizes, Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ provides a neat, structured form with a rounded canopy, making it ideal as a focal point or feature tree within lawns and borders. These trees are typically grown as clear stem standards but can also be trained into multi-stem forms, developing a balanced and spreading crown over time. In spring, the tree produces masses of delicate white flowers emerging from soft pink buds, creating a striking floral display that attracts pollinators. This is followed by abundant clusters of glossy red fruits in late summer and autumn, which persist well into winter, adding long-lasting colour and interest to the garden. In addition to its ornamental value, Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ is excellent for supporting wildlife, with fruits providing an important food source for birds. Its manageable size, reliable performance, and multi-season appeal make it a versatile choice for both traditional and contemporary garden settings.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e180-200cm clear stem \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Deciduous with mid-green foliage, often turning yellow in autumn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Masses of white spring blossom emerging from pink buds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Produces abundant small red ornamental fruits that persist into winter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Hardiness: Very hardy, suitable for UK conditions (tolerant of cold winters)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Prefers moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Adapts well to clay, loam, sand, and a range of soil pH levels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Full sun to partial shade, with best flowering and fruiting in full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Suitable for both sheltered and moderately exposed positions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Tolerates urban conditions and is well suited to gardens, parks, and avenues\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor queries regarding larger or smaller sizes, please contact us at Info@hctrees.uk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H\u0026C's Trees","offers":[{"title":"8-10cm stem girth ~ 120cm x 120cm frame","offer_id":56941735051639,"sku":null,"price":243.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3458\/6414\/files\/IMG-7905.png?v=1776238252","url":"https:\/\/www.hctrees.uk\/products\/pleached-malus-red-sentinel-full-standard-180-200cm-clear-stem","provider":"H\u0026C's Trees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
