The U.S. National Arboretum presents Malus 'Adirondack', an elegant testament to the versatility and landscape value of the ornamental crabapple. An upright growth habit and dark green, highly disease tolerant foliage give form and substance to the summer garden.
Autumn paints the small persistent fruit a bright orange-red.
Adirondack' was selected from this seedling population in 1974 by Donald R. Egolf and released in 1987. Adirondack' exhibits a combination of many desirable traits that make it a near-perfect crabapple. The narrow obovate, upright-branched growth habit combines with an annual bloom cycle, abundant, small, persistent fruit, slow to moderate growth rate, and multiple disease tolerance that is rare in crabapple. Highly rated for both aesthetics and disease resistance by the International Ornamental Crabapple Society. Narrow obovate, upright-branched small tree.
