Malus species [Taiwan] is a broadleaf deciduous fruit / vegetable or tree with green foliage. In spring flowers emerge. Attracts bees and birds making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Grows well with sun and occasional water.
Collected some time ago from the highlands of Taiwan by plantsman Philip McDougal, this small, 15' tree has been quite striking in our garden with its flattened top and deeply dissected leaves that begin turning saturated tones of orange and red in late December, usually holding through winter. Our plant has not yet flowered or fruited for us so stay tuned for more information. Full sun for best color and occasional summer water where dry. From our experience, frost hardy in USDA zone 8a.
