This round-headed tree is adorned with white blossoms on its branches during the spring season. In the autumn, it produces spectacular crops of bright crimson-red fruit that hang like cherries on long thin stalks. These crabapples are ideal for making superb jelly. Malus 'Gorgeous' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Malus x zumi and Malus halliana. 'Gorgeous' was raised by Hayward Wright in Auckland, New Zealand and was introduced in 1925.

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.
