Malus arnoldiana

Malus arnoldiana Details

Malus arnoldiana is a variety of Crabapple grown for its flowers and fruit. Through spring it bears masses of fragrant, single, pink-white flowers which result in small, red fruit in late summer. The fruit are great for attracting birds and other wildlife. The foliage in spring emerges a fresh green, ages to a darker green, and then develops yellow and orange tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 6 m wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Malus arnoldiana is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere the flowers and fruit can be appreciated.
