Family Rosaceae

Malus 'Red Jade' is an elegant weeping ornamental crabapple, renowned for its abundant spring bloom of white flowers, followed by bright red fruits that persist throughout winter and attract many birds. Its naturally cascading and broad habit forms a graceful waterfall silhouette, perfect for planting as a specimen tree, near a water feature, or in a highly decorative landscape design. Its dark green foliage, turning golden yellow in autumn, extends its visual appeal. Very hardy, 'Red Jade' adapts well to well-drained soils, prefers full sun, and requires little pruning due to its natural shape. It combines landscape grace, spring floriferousness, and winter interest, to structure space with refinement in any garden.
