Family Rosaceae

Malus 'Profusion' is an ornamental apple tree with a spectacular bloom, known for its abundant purple-red flowers in spring, which completely cover its branches in a dense, colourful cloud. Its purple foliage when budding, turning bronze and then coppery in autumn, extends its seasonal appeal. It produces small dark red to purple fruits, persistent and decorative until winter, while attracting numerous birds. Its rounded, slightly spreading habit, good hardiness and relative disease resistance make it an excellent choice for planting in isolation, in beds or in ornamental orchards. Suited to well-drained soils and preferring full sun exposure, 'Profusion' stands out for its dense flowering, balanced structure and colourful foliage, perfect for visually enriching any type of garden.
