Malus ‘Wright’s Scarlet’

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 of Malus ‘Wright’s Scarlet’ turn a lovely shade of yellow. Malus ‘Wright’s Scarlet’ is great for making jelly, and it is self-fertile. Malus ‘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.
