Malus ‘Neville Copeman’, or Purple Crab Apple, is a medium-sized, upright, deciduous tree with irregular, wide, ovoid, half-open crown, and attractive foliage – purple when young and green flushed with purple later. Lovely, lilac-pink flowers bloom in spring and large, tasteful, waxy, purplish-red fruits ripe in autumn. Fruits are great for making jams, jellies and chutneys. Malus ‘Neville Copeman’ can grow well in almost any type of soil, as long as it is well-drained, but thrives in moderately fertile, deep, moist, well-drained soils, in full sun or partial shade. Once established, it is resistant to drought. It can withstand frost, wind, and urban pollution. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require much pruning. It is self-fertile, therefore, useful as a pollinator for other apple trees. Purple Crab Apple ‘Neville Copeman’ is popular for its attractive foliage, flowers, and large crab apples. It is great as a specimen plant in smaller gardens, suitable for urban areas, and for growing in containers.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
