Malus Crimson Cascade Tree (12L, 5-6ft)

The apple tree ‘Crimson Cascade’ is an elegant new variety of crab apple with weeping habit. It is a small deciduous tree that adds colour and year-round interest to any sized garden. This ornamental Malus proudly carries the colours of striking crimson flowers in spring and purple fruits that look delicious throughout autumn. With little care and low maintenance, it will reach a height of 4m and spread up to 2m wide at maturity.

Malus Crimson Cascade is a new cultivar with branches that hang until the ground. It is a compact deciduous tree with ovate, bronze-green leaves that initially emerge as deep purple. Later in spring, it produces crimson flowers that are followed by reddish-purple crab apples. These fruits are loved by birds of many kinds, thus bringing life to your wildlife garden. Both the flowers and foliage of this tree create an attractive harmonious display in the summer.

Crimson Cascade will tolerate most soil types easily without making any excuses. However, it will thrive in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, planted in full sun. It will tolerate partial shade and is resistant to frost and scab.

If you are looking for an apple tree that has a low water requirement and requires low upkeep, this is it. Malus Cascade does not require any specific hard pruning either. Simply remove any dead or damaged twigs before spring to maintain its shape and size.

Green leaves of Malus Red Sentinel and its bright red fruits create a stunning colour contrast. It blends in nicely with the estate greenery, home gardens and in urban areas, planted as a single specimen or in groups. It will decorate the green belt outside the fence of any property.
