Royal raindrops crabapple blooms

The easy-to-grow crabapple tree ‘Royal Raindrops’ (Malus ‘JFS-KW5’) begins the season with magenta-pink blooms that develop into persistent red fruits. Its unique deep purple cut-leaf foliage in the summer is an outstanding ornamental feature. In autumn, the foliage turns a mix of orange, scarlet, bronze, and purple. This small tree’s strong branching pattern and dense canopy hold up well in windy sites.
