Red Top Crabapple

Malus Red Top is a variety of Crabapple that features rose coloured flower buds that open into showy, single, red-pink blossoms in spring just as the foliage emerges. The flowers result in large crops of small, red fruit. The glossy leaves emerge red in spring, age to green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide. Malus Red Top is commonly grown as a specimen, maintained in a courtyard or cottage garden, or used for avenue planting.

Malus Red Top Details

Malus Red Top is a variety of Crabapple grown for its colourful fruits and flowers. Rose coloured flower buds open into showy, single, red-pink blossoms in spring just as the foliage emerges. The flowers result in large crops of small, red fruit which can be made into Crabapple jelly, and are loved by birds. The glossy leaves emerge red, age to green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a fertile, well-drained site, protected from wind. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though late frosts in spring can reduce yields. Malus Red Top is commonly grown as a specimen, maintained in a courtyard or cottage garden, or used for avenue planting. This is a popular and showy plant that will impress.
