View prices and availability
Small tree with gracefully hanging twigs and branches. Usually top grafted and will not grow to much more than approx. 3 m. The sprouting leaf is deep purple-bronze, becoming bronze, purplish green in summer. The purple-red buds open in May. The flowers are fairly large and light lilac-red. They are followed by red crab apples that remain on the tree until into November. Striking thanks to the lovely weeping habit and large flowers in a distinctive colour. Unfortunately, susceptible to scab.
