Abundant Butter-Yellow Fruits Perfect For Small Gardens

Malus ‘Butterball’ Is A Heavy-Fruiting Tree Which Produces Distinctive Golden Yellow Fruits, Which Remain Through Autumn And Into Winter. As With All Crab Apples, ‘Butterball’ Is Very Popular With Bees, And Thus Will Bring More Pollinators Into Your Garden, Which Is A Blessing If You Have Other Apple Trees. ‘Butterball’ Is Especially Good As A Pollinator For All Apple Trees, And Flowers Throughout The Pollination Season, Which Gives It More Chance To Pollinate Other Trees. The Fruits Of This Tree Can Sometimes Be Eaten Fresh, Although They Can Be Sour. They Are Better Stewed And Used As Jams, As They Have High Levels Of Pectin, Which Helps With The Setting Of Jam.
