Malus Montreal Beauty Tree (12L, 5-6ft)

Malus Montreal Beauty is a small tree of bushy habit, which is more vigorous in growth than other Malus crab apple trees. It produces much larger and rounder red apple fruits that are excellent for making jellies. Its dark green leaves add significant contrasts to pink white flowers in May and red yellow fruits in December. Montreal Beauty is an ornamental tree for any garden as it provides multi-season interest with blossoms in spring and fruits and colours in autumn.

Montreal Beauty is popular for its plum-sized apples that grow up to an inch in diameter (2.5 cm). It produces one of the largest crab apples with orange skin bearing reddish-splashes. The dark green leaves grow profusely in spring followed by pink buds that open to large white flowers in late spring. Wild birds will flock to a wildlife garden with Malus Montreal Beauty trees.

This glorious crab apple tree will grow on any soil and does not demand dedicated care. It will do just fine in any average garden soil and it can also tolerate heavy soils. However, if possible, plant it in a well-drained soil that is rich in nutrients. It will thrive in a full sun or partial shady location.

Crab apple trees require low maintenance and almost no pruning. Removing any dead or damaged branches before spring is a good idea. Montreal Beauty has better scab resistance than its cousins and is frost resistant as well.

Now here is a good choice that makes an ideal specimen tree without demanding much in return! Crab apple trees are perfect for people who wish a wildlife friendly garden because that is exactly what Montreal Beauty is fit to do.
