Robinson Flowering Crabapple
Malus crabapple ‘Robinson’
Malus 'Robinson' is a stunning, award-winning ornamental crabapple prized for its vibrant pinkish-red spring blooms, attractive bronze-green foliage, and abundant, persistent red fruit. This vigorous, deciduous tree forms a dense, upright, rounded crown with an open branching habit. In mid-spring, it produces an abundance of single, deep pinkish-red flowers that open from darker red buds, creating a spectacular, colorful display that attracts bees and other pollinators. The flowers are followed by small, glossy, bright red fruits that persist into winter, providing a valuable food source for birds. The oval, serrated, medium green leaves turn attractive shades of dark orange and bronze in autumn, adding multi-season interest. With its compact size, low-maintenance nature, and excellent disease resistance, it is an outstanding choice for a specimen tree, street tree, or focal point in small gardens.
