Malus 'Adams' (Crab Apple)

Malus ‘Adams’ (Crab Apple)

Malus ‘Adams’ is a colorful, disease-resistant crab apple that brings interest through multiple seasons. In early May, masses of deep red buds open into showy single pink flowers, creating a beautiful spring display.

After bloom, deep green foliage holds up well through summer, followed by persistent deep red fruit in late summer that attracts birds. In fall, the foliage turns shades of red and bright orange, adding one more layer of seasonal color.

This small ornamental tree is a strong choice for landscapes, garden borders, and wildlife-friendly plantings.
