Malus Floribunda is a rounded, densely-branched, deciduous tree, with narrow, toothed, dark green leaves, yellow and red in autumn. Masses of fragrant, pale pink flowers emerge from red buds in mid-spring and gradually turn white. Flowers are followed by small, orange, edible fruits in autumn, mostly eaten by birds. Malus Floribunda grows well in a wide range of soils, but prefers moderately fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils. it thrives in full sun, but tolerates some shade. Once established, somewhat resistant to drought. Adaptable to urban conditions. Not very disease susceptible. Low maintenance, requires minimal pruning. This Japanese crab, with a profusion of lovely, pale pink flowers, is one of the most beautiful flowering crab apples. It is perfect as a specimen tree or planted in groups in informal, cottage, and urban gardens. Excellent as a street tree, but because of its spreading habit, it shouldn’t be planted too close to buildings.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
