The Louisa Crabapple (Malus 'Louisa') is a graceful, weeping ornamental tree with year-round appeal. In spring, the tree bursts into bloom with red buds that open into single, delicate pink flowers, creating a stunning display. The dark green, glossy foliage provides a striking contrast to the flowers and remains attractive throughout the summer. In fall, Louisa produces small, golden-yellow fruit that persist into winter, offering food for birds and visual interest for the landscape.
This crabapple variety is highly resistant to common diseases such as apple scab and fire blight, as well as Japanese beetles, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. The tree’s elegant weeping form and its ability to hold onto fruit through winter also make it a great choice for those seeking a four-season ornamental tree.
Ideal for smaller landscapes or as a focal point in a garden, Louisa grows 12–15 feet tall with a similar spread. It thrives in full sun and is cold-hardy in Zones 4–8, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. With its stunning flowers, attractive fruit, and strong disease resistance, Louisa Crabapple is an excellent addition to any landscape.
