Malus ‘Gorgeous’

This round-headed tree is adorned with white blossoms on its branches during the spring season. In the autumn, Malus ‘Gorgeous’ 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. Malus ‘Gorgeous’ was raised by Hayward Wright in Auckland, New Zealand and was introduced in 1925.
