Family Rosaceae

Malus 'Starlite' is an ornamental apple tree with a slender and elegant habit, renowned for its abundant spring bloom of pure white flowers, contrasting with its dense, glossy dark green foliage. It then develops small, bright red fruits, which persist well into winter and are appreciated by wildlife. Its narrow, pyramidal shape makes it particularly suitable for confined spaces, decorative alignments, or structured plantings. Highly resistant to scab, tolerant of urban conditions, and low-maintenance, 'Starlite' prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. It stands out for its luminous bloom, its well-defined vertical silhouette, and its impeccable seasonal performance, making it ideal for incorporating verticality into a garden.
