The Lousia Crabapple is a small tree with weeping branches, that can be trained to 10 feet or more tall, or grown as a smaller cascading tree on a slope or over a wall. In spring the bare branches are smothered with beautiful blossoms, which are light pink, opening from dark-pink buds – they make a lovely contrast. In fall and early winter the bare tree is covered with clusters of small crabapples that are golden yellow, flushed on one side with rosy-red. The fall leaves are yellow and orange. This tree is ideal for spring flowers in a smaller space and in cooler zones.

  • Graceful small tree with cascading branches
  • Beautiful light-pink blossoms and dark-pink buds
  • Abundant crop of small apples that are gold with red cheeks
  • Very resistant to common diseases
  • Ideal spring-flowering tree for cold zones

The Lousia Crabapple is hardy in zone 4, and it grows in most climates, enjoying cooler parts of the country. It will grow in any well-drained soil, and it is reliable and easy to grow, with very little attention needed. It is very resistant to leaf diseases and rarely bothered by significant pests. Once established it is resistant to ordinary summer dry periods, and it needs no special pruning. Use a permanent strong stake to support a central stem if you want a tall tree with cascading side branches.
