Info

Garden are the crab apples (Malus). There are so many varieties and so many of them ‘do’ something wonderful throughout the year. The better known ones such as Malus ‘Evereste’ and M. ‘John Downie’, the latter being one of the best fruiting of the lot, are worth growing but it’s fun to look into alternatives. M. hupehensis, which was discovered in Hupeh province by Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson on one of his plant hunting odysseys, is a lovely thing: combining fragrant white flowers with masses of small dark red fruits in autumn. Wilson was one of the greatest plant hunters. He started life as an apprentice gardener’s boy in the Midlands and worked his way up to working at Kew Gardens. Eventually he was employed by James Veitch and Sons to work as a plant collector. Despite horrendous conditions in China, including an outbreak of the plague, malaria and political unrest, he returned with nearly a thousand plant species along with the seeds of another three hundred, most of which we take for granted now. He also discovered M. toringoides in Western China at about the same time. This has a rather different habit to M. hupehensis having wide spreading branches and very deeply lobed leaves. The flowers are just slightly scented and a creamy white but the fruit is very striking as each one is pear shaped and ‘two tone’ in shades of red and yellow. Sorbus are another genus with a huge range of plants with stunning autumn colour and berries. E.H. Wilson also found Above: Hawthorn bushes along the Military Canal in Appledore Sorbus hupehensis in China and a particularly good selection is ‘Pink Pagoda’. I love this little tree. It really is so striking and beautiful, both for its bluish green, sharply toothed leaves but in particular for its pink tinged fruits. There’s a great example near the top of Battleston Hill at RHS Wisley should you be going that way, and whilst it is tucked away with a lot of other interesting trees and shrubs, it always seems to stand out to me because of the colour of the berries combined with its leaves. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that it’ll have to be added to my imaginary Christmas list. Even its branches are decorative as they have a purple hue.
