The Adirondack Crabapple (Malus 'Adirondack) offers what most of the other 1,000 named crabapples can’t: tremendous disease resistance, a long season of flower and fruit, and a dense inverted-triangle shape that solves a multitude of space challenges. ‘Adirondack’ can be planted as closely as 8’-10’ apart, will thrive in full sun, adapts to most any soil condition and is also drought-tolerant. Butterflies, birds and bees love its deep crimson buds, which slowly open as a mass of showy white blossoms against sturdy, dark green leaves. Even into fall and early winter, fruits hang on, turning an outrageous orange-red. Eliminate the need for pruning and chemical spraying, and it’s easy to understand how ‘Adirondack’ has become a sought-after cultivar. Softens a foundation or punctuates a shrub line or formal garden; also a show-stopper in multiples along a driveway or street. (Click Merchant link below for full description)
