Malus 'Lollipop' is a dwarf ornamental apple tree with a naturally globose habit, highly sought after for its compact and regular form, ideal for small gardens, entrances, patios, or container planting. Its abundant white spring blossoms, followed by decorative small yellow fruits, illuminate the landscape from the start of the season. The bright green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, extending its visual appeal. Thanks to its well-defined spherical silhouette, it requires little to no pruning while maintaining a neat and structured appearance. Very hardy, easy to grow, and disease-resistant, 'Lollipop' is perfect for small spaces where maximum decorative impact with minimal maintenance is desired. This small tree combines formal elegance, generous flowering, and excellent adaptability to Quebec's urban landscapes.
