A small to medium German heritage variety of crab apple, 6 to 8m in height, with reasonably scab-resistant foliage. Red buds appear in April, opening to masses of fragrant, semi-double, purple-pink flowers in May, followed by small, pale green-yellow fruits blushed with red in autumn. Athough the fruit is edible when cooked and used for jams or jellies, it is grown primarily for its beautiful blossom
