Malus 'Profusion'
Malus ‘Profusion’

A Crabapple with deep red flowers, Malus ‘Profusion’ is a naturally small growing deciduous tree to around 4 metres in height. It has a natural spreading habit and makes a good small shade tree as well as a showy feature tree when in flower. It does live up to its its name, with masses of red flowers in spring.

New foliage has a coppery tinge before turning to a good green, foliage is rounded and attractive through the season. The flowers are followed by small deep crimson red crabapples.
