This crabapple is a spectacular fruiting tree that produces large, crimson-red fruit in the autumn season. In the spring, Malus 'Wright's Scarlet' produces white blossoms, and its spreading canopy of branches creates a beautiful display. During the fall, the leaves turn a lovely shade of yellow. Malus 'Wright's Scarlet' is great for making jelly, and it is self-fertile. 'Wright's Scarlet' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and was developed in New Zealand and named after Hayward Wright, a plant breeder who lived in Auckland, New Zealand in the early 20th century.

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.
