Malus 'Ruby Tears' (Weeping Crabapple)

Malus ‘Ruby Tears’ (Weeping Crabapple)

Add elegant structure and season-long color with this compact weeping crabapple. ‘Ruby Tears’ forms a graceful, pendulous canopy, covered in soft pink blooms in spring. New foliage emerges a rich merlot tone, gradually maturing to a deep burgundy-green that holds through summer. By late season, small red berries develop, adding subtle interest and attracting wildlife.

Its smaller size makes it well-suited for tighter spaces, where its cascading form can be appreciated as a focal point or accent tree.
