Malus 'Admiration'

An unusual small tree with masses of attractive white and pale pink flowers in Spring, followed by small orange-red fruit in late summer and autumn. Malus 'Admiration' is compact and upright when young, spreading a little once established.

It usually takes some years to settle down and start filling out but it is worth the long wait as very attractive once established. Also develops a lovely architectural habit when grown as a multi-stemmed specimen.

Suitable for areas with very limited space. Significantly more slow growing than the other Malus listed here and not for instant gratification!
