Crabapple 'Scarlett'

Malus 'Scarlett' is a decorative ornamental crabapple with vibrant spring blossoms, covered in carmine red to dark pink flowers, which contrast beautifully with its dark purple foliage. It then produces small, bright red fruits, which are very persistent and attractive to wildlife, adding sustained winter interest. Its rounded, well-branched habit, moderate growth, and colorful foliage from spring to autumn make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, flowering hedges, or high-contrast beds. The foliage retains its purple hue all season, turning coppery in autumn. Very hardy, undemanding, and tolerant of various soils, 'Scarlett' thrives in full sun, in well-drained soil, and easily integrates into gardens with lively and structured compositions.
