This crabapple is a densely-branched, spreading, deciduous, dwarf tree or shrub which typically grows 6-8' tall and 12' wide. Often grown as a shrub. Deep pink buds open to single, white flowers (1\ diameter) in spring. Flowers may have a pinkish tinge in cool spring weather. Flowers are followed by masses of small, glossy, red crabapples (1/2\" diameter) which mature in the fall and persist into late fall. The fruits are attractive to birds. Ovate, sometimes deeply lobed, dark green leaves."
