Malus × moerlandsii 'Profusion' (Profusion Crab Apple)

Malus × moerlandsii 'Profusion', commonly known as Profusion Crab Apple, is a spectacular deciduous ornamental tree prized for its rich purple foliage, vibrant crimson flower buds, and masses of fragrant deep pink to crimson blossoms in spring. The colourful foliage emerges burgundy-purple before maturing to a bronze-green through summer, creating a striking contrast with the abundant flowers. In autumn, clusters of glossy dark red crab apples develop, providing long-lasting ornamental appeal and attracting birds.

Hardy, low maintenance, and easy to grow, Profusion Crab Apple thrives in full sun and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its rounded canopy and multi-season interest make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, parks, avenues, and cottage gardens. Combining colourful foliage, showy flowers, and persistent ornamental fruit, this cultivar is one of the finest flowering crab apples for residential and commercial landscapes.
