Small tree with a round crown up to approx. 6 m tall and wide with grey-brown and smooth bark. The leaves are dark green, turning yellow in autumn. The purple-red flower buds usually only open after leaf development, around mid-May. The white flowers are approx. 4 cm. They are followed by lavish fruit yield. The crab apples are round, approx. 0.9 to 1.3 cm and shiny red. They remain on the tree until February. This Malus was discovered as a spontaneous seedling in Arnold Arboretum, Massachusetts, USA. Although this happened before 1950, the tree was only named in 1970.
