Widely admired for its spectacular spring display, Malus ioensis Plena—commonly known as Bechtel’s Crab Apple—is a small deciduous tree with a rounded, spreading habit. In spring, masses of fragrant, bright pink double flowers burst from rosy buds, creating a breathtaking floral show. Through autumn, the foliage turns rich shades of burnt orange and red before falling, adding a second season of colour. A superb choice as a feature tree for smaller gardens or landscapes where space is limited. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
