Malus toringo ‘Brouwers Beauty’ is a magnificent crabapple, which flourishes in spring and bears small orange/ yellow berries in autumn. Truly abundantly filled. Malus toringo originates from Japan and has an exceptional leaf shape for a Malus, namely incised. The leaves of ‘Brouwers Beauty’ start out oval to egg-shaped and develop into a sharply serrated shape as summer progresses. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow/ orange.
The flowers are singular, light pink to white, and appear in April/ May. The bloom is abundant, and that also goes for the berries. These are orange/ yellow, 8-10 mm, and stay on the tree until at least October. ‘Brouwers Beauty’ has a strong leader with a wide-spread crown and overhanging branches. This makes for a loose and open appearance. It does need a little room because of this, but it is definitely suitable for planting in wide streets. The tree reaches a height of 5 to 6 m.
Malus toringo ‘Brouwers Beauty’ prefers a sheltered location and grows best in fertile, humus-rich, permeable soil. It is slightly susceptible to scabies.
