Description
Semi-double pink and white spring flowers open from rich pink buds across the compact, rounded crown of Malus Coralcole. Its slow growth and small stature suit courtyards, cottage gardens, borders, and patio containers, while sparse bronze-green fruit follows the blossom.
Place this deciduous tree in full sun and moist but well-drained soil. Chalk, clay, loam, and sand are suitable, and the tree accepts acid, neutral, or alkaline conditions. Water during dry periods and prune lightly in late winter when needed.
The flowers support visiting bees, and birds feed on the fruit. The seeds contain toxins and should not be eaten; remove them before cooking the fruit.
