Malus sargentii Tina

Flower colour: White
Leaf colour: Green

Fruit colour: Red

Malus 'Tina' is a naturally dwarf crab-apple that will reach a mature height of around 1.5m or so. It makes a good feature in a small garden, or as a focal point for an area in a larger garden. It is also a good choice if you need a small crab-apple to grow in a patio container.

The spring blossom is white with golden anthers in the centres. The small autumn fruitlets are bright red.

Malus Tina was developed in the USA but it is thought the original seedling came from Japan.
