This glorious new introduction looks like a cross between Malus toringo and Malus Director Moerland with purple / red foliage and dark pink flowers in the spring giving way to small dark red fruits in late summer.

A great tree for giving contrast within a garden, it thrives on most soils, light and heavy, and is one of the last crab apples to lose its leaves on the nursery in the autumn.

Malus toringo has such a pretty leaf and this also shows through in this variety. It is a good pollinator for culinary apples whilst providing stunning interest in its own right.

If you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer then we recommend rabbit guards for these trees.
