Malus Transitoria
​
Malus Transitoria is a small ornamental crab apple that bears clouds of delicate white blossom in May. This gently spreading, ornamental tree is suitable for any garden. It has beautiful, deeply lobed bright green leaves, like those of a maple which turn a lovely buttery yellow in the autumn, along with small amber-coloured berries that stay on the trees well into winter and twinkle like little jews in the rain. This tree prefers fertile moist loamy conditions but is pretty tolerant provided the ground is not waterlogged. Ultimate height is 6m with a spread of 5m.
