Malus (Crabapple) 'Ruby Tears', weeping 15 gal

This smaller more confined weeping Crabapple selection is proof that big landscape presence can come in smaller packages. Topping out at a mere 10' with a slightly wider spread, Ruby Tears™ sports pools of luminous pink blossoms in early May backed by colorful foliage on naturally weeping, pendulous branches. While most Carbapples are prized for their bloom, foliage is just as important on this selection as it emerges as a bright merlot shade behind those pink flowers and slowly fades to rich, cool, burgundy-green for the hot summer months. Small 1/2" bright red berries appear in late summer, sure to delight your native wildlife. Plant Ruby Tears™ in full sun and use it as a stunning, 4 season spectacular specimen in smaller places where larger plants are a real nuisance.
