Coral Burst crabapple (Malus 'Coralburst') is a small ornamental tree known for its vibrant pink flowers in the spring and bright orange-red fruit in the fall. It has a compact and rounded growth habit, reaching a height of 10 to 12 feet and a spread of 8 to 10 feet at maturity.
The leaves of Coral Burst crabapple are a glossy green in the summer, and turn shades of orange and red in the fall. Its flowers are a vibrant pink and bloom in dense clusters in the spring, providing a striking display against the dark green foliage.
In the fall, the tree produces small, bright orange-red fruit that persist into the winter, providing food for wildlife. The fruit is also edible and can be used in cooking, but is generally not as sweet as other fruit trees.
Coral Burst crabapple is relatively low-maintenance and disease-resistant, making it a popular choice for landscaping and as a street tree. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, and is generally tolerant of a wide range of soil types and growing conditions.
