Overview & Description

The Courageous Crabapple (Malus x ‘DurLawrence’) makes a dramatic spring statement, erupting in a breathtaking display of pink blossoms each April. This vigorous grower forms a handsome, broad-upright canopy absolutely smothered in flowers, creating a cotton-candy effect. What sets this cultivar apart is its striking foliage progression—emerging leaves unfurl in an eye-catching bronzy-red hue before maturing to rich green, adding weeks of extra colour interest.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a broad-upright, vigorous, and well-branched growth habit. It forms a handsome ornamental tree ideally suited for small garden spaces, typically reaching a mature size of about 15 to 20 feet in both height and spread.

Additional Notes

Deciduous with bronzy-red emerging foliage maturing to rich green, prolific pink spring blossoms, and excellent disease resistance. Hardy and adaptable to urban conditions with minimal maintenance. An outstanding choice for spring focal points, pollinator gardens, or low-maintenance landscapes where maximum impact with minimal care and four-season interest are desired.
