Malus 'Tschonoskii' (Crabapple) Details

“Tschonoskii” is variety of Crabapple grown for its flowers, symmetry, and fantastic autumn colours. Flower buds open to reveal showy, single, white blossoms in spring amidst the lush foliage. The flowers result in small, glossy, red fruits in autumn. The leaves emerge light green in spring, age to a darker green, then develop impressive orange, red, and purple tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a narrow and rounded shape to about 10 m tall and 5 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a fertile, well-drained site, protected from wind. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though late frosts in spring can impact fruiting. This variety of Crabapple is commonly grown as a specimen or used in an avenue planting. It is a showy tree with great form that will not only impress but provide formality and an architectural element.
