Lovely in bloom and form, Malus 'Coralburst' is a compact deciduous tree forming a very dense, symmetrically rounded head with tiny lush green leaves. Opening from coral-pink buds, masses of fragrant, semi-double, pink blossoms appear in mid-spring. They are followed by abundant, bronze fruits, 1/2 in. (1.2 cm), that persist on the tree into late fall and are attractive to birds. The small stature of this elegant crabapple makes it a perfect ornamental choice for the garden, including small gardens. Extremely hardy and disease free-especially to apple scab.
