Plant description

This is a very pretty, dwarf crab apple, that makes an excellent addition to smaller gardens. In spring, it produces a mass of dark pink flowers which emerge from carmine red buds, just as the dark purple leaves appear. As the leaves age they change to a dark green before a show of autumn colour. From late summer, large red fruits are produced which can remain well into winter and make a lovely red crab apple jelly. Perfect for a small garden or large pot.

How to care for Malus Laura:

When planting your flowering crab, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Remove dead, diseased and crossing branches while the tree is dormant during the winter months.

Please note:

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
