Malus X Robusta Red Sentinel Crabapple

Malus X Robusta 'Red Sentinel' Crabapple is a small deciduous tree with a compact, upright form and multi-season interest. 'Red Sentinel' Crabapple's light green leaves are complemented by dark pink buds that open into aromatic, single, white blooms in late spring. This variety produces masses of cherry-like, deep red fruits beginning in autumn and persisting into winter that provide extra late season color and food for birds. Crabapples require full sun or partial shade and moderately fertile, well-drained soils. Additionally, this crabapple is valued for its disease resistance. 'Red Sentinel' is a suitable choice for specimen plantings and city or cottage landscapes.
