The Malus 'Royal Beauty' is the perfect choice for a tree that has an ever-changing, year round interest. The leaves emerge as a bronzed red colour and turn purple-red in summer before a final burst of bronzed yellow in the autumn. A further interest is added in spring with the masses of deep pink flowers that bloom in April/ May. The final anual display comes in autumn with the dark red crab apples; these hold well into winter and are great for attracting birds. This tree has a weeping habit and is ideal for smaller gardens.
