Crabapple 'Liset', Crab Apple 'Liset', Malus 'Liset'


A prolific bloomer, Malus 'Liset' is a dense, compact, rounded, deciduous tree with a very open habit. Opening from bright crimson-red buds, masses of fragrant, rich rose-red flowers appear in pretty clusters in late spring. They are followed by abundant, very dark red, cherry-like fruits, 1/2 in. (1.2 cm), that mature in the fall. Attractive to birds, they are not winter-persistent. It produces longitudinal cracks on some of its heavier branches, but these cracks heal the same season they appear. The foliage of oval leaves emerges purplish in spring and changes to dark bronze-green throughout the growing season. One of the showiest flowering crabapples with good to excellent disease resistance, it is a fabulous landscape tree for any garden.

  • Grows up to 15-20 ft. tall and wide (4-6 m).
  • A full sun lover, this tree is easily grown in moderately fertile, well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought tolerant.
  • Perfect as a specimen plant, in city gardens or cottage gardens.
  • Require only minimal pruning in late winter, to remove damaged, diseased, or misplaced growth.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
