Malus trilobata Lebanese Crab Apple

DESCRIPTION: A strong, upright growing, deciduous tree with dark green, slightly hairy leaves that turn brilliant shades of yellow, red and burgundy in autumn. White flowers have a pink flush and are followed by red-tinged, green fruit. Good alternative to an ornamental pear tree.
