Overview & Description

The Starlite Crabapple (Malus x ‘Jeflite’ PBRAF) is an exceptional ornamental tree combining beauty, resilience, and easy care in one elegant package. This upright grower with an attractive low canopy puts on a spectacular spring show, bursting with fragrant red buds that open to delicate white blossoms before glossy foliage emerges. As seasons change, clusters of candy-red fruits persist into winter, creating brilliant display against snow while providing vital food for birds.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits an upright, compact, and well-branched growth habit with an attractive low canopy. It forms a modest-sized ornamental tree ideally suited for residential landscapes, typically reaching a mature size of about 15 to 20 feet in both height and spread.

Additional Notes

Deciduous with glossy green summer foliage, fragrant white spring blooms, and persistent bright red winter fruit. Exceptional resistance to common crabapple diseases makes it worry-free and low-maintenance. An outstanding choice for smaller landscapes where four seasons of visual interest—from spring flowers to winter fruit—are desired with reliable beauty and virtually no fuss.
