Rosaceae
Malus 'Sugar Time' is a late-flowering ornamental apple tree that blooms profusely, offering a dazzling spring display of pure white flowers emerging from pink buds. It then produces small, shiny, bright red fruits that persist well into winter and are particularly attractive to birds. Its bright green foliage, turning golden yellow in autumn, extends its appeal across three seasons. With its rounded, slightly spreading habit, well-balanced shape, and exceptional scab resistance, 'Sugar Time' is an excellent choice for solitary plantings, flowerbeds, or decorative alignments. It thrives in full sun in well-drained soil and combines luminous flowering, decorative fruiting, and a structured silhouette, all while requiring little maintenance.
