History and description of Laura®

Malus Laura is an excellent new crab apple. The naturally dwarf upright growth habit makes it very suitable for small gardens. It produces stunning deep pink and white blossom in April/May and large maroon crab apples in October. The leaves are dark purple in spring turning dark green in summer. The crab apples have dark red flesh and make an excellent red jelly.
