Crab Apple tree - malus

One of the finest red-flowering crabapples, Malus ‘Adams’ is an upright, broad-rounded deciduous tree with a long season of interest. Opening from red buds, masses of fragrant, deep pink single flowers appear in mid spring. The pretty blossoms are followed by abundant glossy, red fruits, 1/2 in. (1.2 cm), with blood-red pulp.
