Exquisite flower display with waterfalls of cascading blossom covered branches. Provides an effective presentation from early to mid summer due to its attractive weeping form. However, moderate scab and a trace of frogeye reduce its appeal in late summer. Attractive low-spreading growth habit is an excellent feature, especially as plant ages. Resistant to scab with just a trace of frogeye leafspot.
Fruits tend to shrivel early in fall, diminishing winter impact.
M. sargentii 'Rosea' differs from the species in that it has rose-pink buds. Attractive, persistent red fruits are outstanding, complementing its small, delicate growth habit. Most effective through fall and winter months. Foliage is relatively scab free with a trace of frogeye. Lustrous green foliage, good overall growth habit, and outstanding small glossy fruits make this tree exceptional.
