Plant description
A very pretty dwarf crab apple, that makes an excellent addition to smaller gardens. In spring, Malus Coralburst double rose pink flowers, giving a delightful two-tone effect just as the lush green leaves start to appear. From late summer, these are followed by bronze fruits, which remain until well into winter.
The crown of this small tree has been grafted onto the upright stem of the rootstock at a height of 45cm, which will limit the eventual height. It's perfect for a small garden, or growing in a large pot.

How to care for Malus Coralburst ('Coralcole'):
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. If potting up, use a loam based (John Innes) based compost and make sure it is kept well watered during warm weather.
Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. 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 tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
