Botanical nameCrabapple 'Robinson'

Malus 'Robinson' is a vigorous ornamental apple tree with a spectacular spring bloom, covered in dark pink to rosy-red flowers from early spring. Its purplish foliage when budding, turning bronze-green then coppery in autumn, provides a striking contrast with the flowers. It produces small, bright red fruits, highly decorative and persistent, which extend interest into winter and attract many birds. Its rounded and airy habit, good disease resistance, and tolerance to various soil types make it an excellent choice for solitary plantings, informal hedges, or flower beds. 'Robinson' thrives in full sun, in well-drained soil, and is distinguished by its strong spring impact, colorful foliage, and decorative fruiting, in a hardy and easy-to-grow tree.
