Malus 'Cardinal'

Malus 'Cardinal'

Malus 'Cardinal' is a striking ornamental crab apple, valued for its year-round interest. In spring, it produces a profusion of fragrant, deep pink blossoms that attract bees and pollinators. Through summer, the glossy purple-green foliage provides a bold backdrop before small, dark red crab apples appear in autumn, holding well into winter and offering food for birds. The foliage also takes on rich autumn tones, extending the seasonal display.

With its rounded, spreading habit, ‘Cardinal’ is a superb choice as a specimen tree for lawns, borders, or smaller gardens. Hardy and reliable, it delivers colour, structure, and wildlife value across the seasons, making it a versatile and rewarding tree for ornamental planting.
