Niedzwetzkyana, Malus pumila niedzwetzkyana, Red Fleshed Apple

Malus niedzwetzkyana is a variety of Crabapple that bears masses of red buds that open to reveal showy, single, pink-red flowers that literally transform the tree in spring. These result in medium-sized, red-orange fruit in autumn. The foliage emerges green in spring, ages to a darker green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 5 m tall and the same wide. Malus niedzwetzkyana is commonly grown as an impressive specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere it can be appreciated.

Malus niedzwetzkyana Details

Malus niedzwetzkyana is a variety of Crabapple grown for its flowering and colourful fruits. Through spring it bears masses of red buds that open to reveal showy, single, pink-red flowers that literally transform the tree. These result in medium-sized, red-orange fruit in autumn which attract all manner of wildlife. The foliage in spring emerges green, ages to a darker green, and then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 5 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Malus niedzwetzkyana is commonly grown as an impressive specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere it can be appreciated.
