ëRobinson is a pink-flowered crabapple that typically matures to 15-25 tall. It is noted for its rounded shape, deep pink flowers, red fruit and good disease resistance. Oval leaves (to 3î long) emerge purple when young, turn bronze green with red veining during the growing season and finally turn varying but sometimes good orange fall color. Crimson buds open in spring to deep pink flowers (1.5î diameter). Flowers are followed by bright red crabapples (to 3/8î diameter) that mature in fall and may persist into winter. Birds are attracted to the fruit. Fruit may be harvested for jellies.
