Family Rosaceae

Malus 'Golden Raindrops' is an ornamental crabapple with a spreading, open habit, known for its abundant white spring blossoms, followed by a spectacular display of small, golden-yellow fruits that persist into winter. Its finely cut, dark green, almost lustrous foliage gives it a unique and elegant texture, turning orange-yellow in autumn. With its rounded shape and graceful branching, it is suitable for use as a specimen tree, in informal hedges, or along lawn borders. Very hardy, disease-resistant, and tolerant of various well-drained soil types, 'Golden Raindrops' prefers full sun exposure to maximize its flowering and fruiting. Its rare combination of fine foliage, generous bloom, and bright yellow small fruits makes it a highly decorative and reliable ornamental tree for Québec landscapes.
