Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shell-pink blossoms grace this lovely weeping crabapple in spring. The blooms are followed by 3/8" yellow fruits that have an attractive rose blush on them, the fruit persists in to winter and is loved by birds. The tree has excellent form to 12-15' and dark, glossy-green, disease-resistant foliage which turns yellow-orange in autumn; a beautiful landscape accent. Good for urban gardens as it withstands air pollution well. S/M
