Malus x atrosanguinea 'Gorgeous'

Malus 'Gorgeous'

Malus 'Gorgeous' is a compact ornamental crab apple tree valued for its abundant blossom, colourful fruit and year-round garden interest. In spring, the branches are covered in masses of pure white flowers, creating an attractive display and providing a useful source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.

Glossy green foliage follows through summer before the tree develops heavy crops of bright red crab apples from early autumn. The fruits often remain on the branches well into winter, extending the seasonal display and providing a valuable food source for birds.

With its neat habit and manageable size, 'Gorgeous' is particularly well suited to smaller gardens, courtyards and mixed borders. The crab apples can also be cooked for jellies and preserves, while its RHS Award of Garden Merit reflects its reliable garden performance and ornamental value.
