Camelot® Crabapple
The 1/2 inch burgundy fruits ripen in late summer. The flowers are fuchsia-pink on white and produce a rich burgundy colored fruit. Birds are attracted to the fruit as well. Prune as needed after flowering, but before June. Best grown in medium moisture, well-drained, acidic loams in full sun, and it does adapt to a wide range of soils. The fruit has a medium texture, is very flavorful and may be harvested for jellies. Crabapples require little pruning once established. This tree has good disease resistance and no main insect pests. In late winter, prune dead, diseased, and broken branches and trim off any sprouts that arise at the base of the tree. This crabapple may be planted as a specimen or in small groups. The Camelot® Crabapple tree, Malus 'Camzam', is a dwarf cultivar that has a rounded shape and thick, leathery, dark green leaves with a touch of burgundy. The crabapples mature in the fall and may persist into winter. ... more
