Crab Apple Tree ‘Liset’
The Malus ‘Liset’ patio crab apple is a striking dwarf variety with purple spring foliage, which contrasts beautifully with dark buds that open into deep rose-pink flowers. The foliage gradually changes to bronze-green during the summer months, and the flowers give way to dark red fruits in autumn, which persist well into winter. This variety is particularly well-suited for smaller spaces or container growth due to its compact size.
Rootstock: M9
Height at full growth: 2-2.5m (without regular pruning)
These trees are designed to keep a neat, compact shape, ideal for small gardens or patios. Regular pruning is recommended to remove dead or diseased branches and to maintain its desired height. They are resistant to many common diseases, making them a reliable choice for container gardening. For best results, plant in a large container (at least 50cm in diameter) with good drainage and feed regularly during the growing season with a high-potash feed.
