About this product

The Malus trilobata, now often referred to by some as Eriolobus trilobatus or Lebanese Wild Apple, is a small tree with a compact and upright growth habit.

Unlike many other Malus, this tree offers a beautiful, vibrant red autumn leaf. The leaf itself is lobed and reminiscent of Liquidambar, for those who are also familiar with this variety.

The variety also benefits from small white flowers in spring, and a small crab apple can be produced, too, although this is not the variety's most notable feature.

It is an excellent tree for a smaller garden where you are looking for a narrow-growing specimen.

Mature height: 3-7m
