Royal Beauty Crabapple
Malus 'Royal Beauty' is a weeping ornamental apple tree with an elegant, drooping habit, remarkable for its abundant spring bloom of purplish-pink flowers, followed by decorative dark red fruits that persist well into winter. Its dark purple foliage, turning coppery in autumn, provides continuous colorful presence from spring to winter. Its natural weeping silhouette makes it an exceptional choice for planting as a specimen, near a water feature, or in a formal or romantic garden. Very hardy and scab-resistant, 'Royal Beauty' thrives in full sun, in well-drained soil. It combines graceful form, vivid blooms, sustained foliage, and winter fruiting, all while requiring very little maintenance, making it a structuring and decorative ornamental small tree for any type of garden.
