Rosaceae
Malus 'Purple Wave' is a distinctive ornamental apple tree with a spreading, weeping habit, offering abundant spring blossoms of rosy-red to purplish-pink flowers, followed by a prolific fruiting of small, decorative purple fruits that persist on the tree for a long time. Its dark purplish foliage, turning coppery in autumn, provides continuous colorful presence throughout the season. Its wide, arching silhouette makes it particularly suitable for solitary plantings, driveway borders, or landscape arrangements with great visual impact. Very hardy, not very susceptible to scab, and easy to maintain, 'Purple Wave' prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. It combines graceful form, rich foliage, vibrant flowering, and persistent decorative fruits, making it a **structuring and ornamental element of choice in any type of garden.
