Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Siberian Crab Apple tree (i.e., Malus baccata) is provided. The new variety can be readily distinguished from the ‘Royal Beauty’ variety (non-patented in the United States). A vigorous growth habit is exhibited with strong apical dominance combined with descending side branches that are disposed at approximately 90° to the trunk at the point of attachment. The leaves are purple with green shading. Attractive red-pink flowers are formed. Very small globose fruit is formed that is purple when fully mature. The new variety is particularly well suited for growing as a distinctive ornamental plant in the landscape.
