Profusion crab apple is a hybrid, sometimes classified as malus x moerlandsii. It comes from the Netherlands.
Its main feature are dark purple-pink flowers that come out from mid to end spring in profusion. They are followed by small, spherical fruit of purplish-black colour and look like wild cherries. Leaves are mid green with bronze shades, up to 8 cm long, elliptic.
Crab apples are not picky about soil type or pH. It just has to be well-drained. If you want to maintain compact shape and smaller size of the plant prune it at the end of winter. Fully hardy to -34°C (USDA zone 4).
