Botanical nameAdams' Crabapple

Malus 'Adams' is a highly floriferous ornamental apple tree, renowned for its splendid deep pink spring blossoms, followed by small decorative red fruits that persist into winter. Its rounded and spreading habit gives it a balanced silhouette, ideal for use as a specimen tree, in an alignment, or in a mixed bed. Very hardy and well-adapted to the Quebec climate, this cultivar offers ornamental interest over several seasons, with purple foliage in spring turning bronze-green, then orange to red in autumn. The fruits attract birds and are resistant to dropping, adding color and winter texture. It tolerates most well-drained soils and prefers full sun exposure to maximize its flowering and fruiting. 'Adams' combines aesthetics, hardiness, and low maintenance, making it a must-have for northern gardens.
