Malus Ellerslie

Malus Ellerslie Details

Malus Ellerslie is a variety of Crabapple grown for its flowering, colourful fruits, and pendulous growth habit. It bears masses of large and showy, single, rose-pink flowers through spring. These result in small, red fruit in autumn which attract all manner of wildlife. The foliage emerges with a red tint, ages to bronze during summer, then develops colourful red tones in autumn before falling. The fruit and foliage are held on pendulous branches. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, that does not dry out. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Malus Ellerslie is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, or included anywhere it can be appreciated.
