Apples: Malus baccata 'Almey'

description for "Apples: Malus baccata 'Almey'"

'Almey' Crabapple has glistening fiery crimson blossoms as large as silver dollars covering the branches to the tips. One of the most beautiful flowering trees anywhere! After the spring show, autumn brings another spectacle of beauty. The leaves fall to reveal small scarlet fruits clinging to the branches for a highlight of color carried into winter. Very early blooming habit. These trees start blooming in the nursery row, so you can look for blossoms the year after you plant them. Grows 12-15 feet high, even in poor soil. Very hardy, beautiful trees anywhere you want a show of brilliant color. Plant 15-25 feet apart. May be susceptible to scab and other diseases. Zones 4-7. Edited by M.Tate.
