    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A delightful dwarf crabapple from Japan grown for its unique broad, shrub habit becoming a 6-8'bush with no central leader; covered with masses of white flowers on alternate years, which are followed by pea-sized, sweet tasting, bright-red, long-lasting fruits which contrast beautifully with the golden-yellow autumn leaves; a wonderful addition to a mixed hedge or border; shows good disease resistance as well.
