Family Rosaceae

Malus 'Coralburst' is a highly valued dwarf ornamental crabapple tree, prized for its abundant bloom of coral pink buds that open into fragrant pale pink flowers, creating a striking contrast in early spring. Its dense, regular globular habit is perfectly suited for small spaces, front yards, patios, and structured landscaping, where it provides significant visual impact without overcrowding. The dark green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, while small coppery-brown fruits appear in late summer, adding texture and decorative interest in the colder season. Very hardy and undemanding, 'Coralburst' adapts to various well-drained soils and prefers full sun exposure. This compact cultivar combines remarkable flowering, a neat silhouette, and easy maintenance, making it a prime choice for Quebec's urban gardens.
