Description
Malus ‘Rejoice’ / Rejoice™ Crabapple
Planting Points: A hardy compact crabapple selected for cold climates, with double pink flowers that fade to soft pink‑white. Flowers are abundant, fragrant, and showy in mid-spring. Produces small, bright red persistent fruits—ornamental and valued by birds, minimal mess. Highly disease-resistant to apple scab, fire blight, cedar‑apple rust, and mildew. Compact, rounded form makes it excellent for small yards or limited spaces. Water deeply during establishment; moderately drought‑tolerant afterward. Prune only for shaping or to remove crossing branches—best done in winter.
Siting This Tree: Ideal small ornamental for residential yards, gardens, patios, and foundation plantings. Works beautifully as a specimen tree, especially near walkways or windows where blooms can be enjoyed up close. Excellent choice for cold climates and northern landscapes where many crabapples struggle. Good for wildlife gardens due to persistent fruit. Avoid heavily shaded locations—flowering and fruiting will decrease.
