Malus 'Barbara Ann' produces fragrant, double pink blossoms in the spring that contrast with the new red leaves. Malus 'Barbara Ann' has an upright and open growing habit, making it well-suited for training, such as espaliering. In the autumn, small dark red-purple crabapples can be found on Malus 'Barbara Ann'. Malus 'Barbara Ann' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Malus 'Dorothea' and Malus x purpurea. Malus 'Barbara Ann' was propagated by Dr. Donald Wyman at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and named after his youngest daughter.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
