There are any vrieties of apple tree but here are some of note. Malus x domestica ( also referred to earlier as Malus pumilais or Paradise Apple) is common in the UK but not a native species, where as Malus sylvestris or crab apple is a native species. The very similar Malus sylvestris is also native to the UK, known as wild apple or wild crab apple it is thought to be an important ancestor of other varieties

Apple trees are cultivated in orchards and small trees are often found in hedgerows, scrub, copses, at roadsides and on rough ground, often singularly. Apples are important for wildlife as a food source for thrushes and bullfinches and a nesting ground for blackbirds. Crab apples are a food source for caterpillars and moths, the flowers are an important source of early pollen and nectar for bees, and blackbirds, thrushes and crows eat the fruits aswell as mice, voles, foxes and badgers. Apples trees are part of the rose family, as are pears and plums.
