Malus ‘Louisa’ (crab apple)
Malus ‘Louisa’
louisa
This broadly weeping crab apple features beautiful glossy dark green foliage tree. Branches typically cascade to and spread along the ground. Pink flowers in May are followed by persistent 3/8 in. yellow fruit in fall which is relished by hungry birds. Best grown in medium moisture, well-drained, acidic loams in full sun but will adapt to a wide range of soil. Drought tolerant once established. Discovered by Polly Hill of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts in 1962.
