Malus 'Redfree'

Overview

Dwarf Apple (Malus 'Redfree') is a small, attractive ornamental tree ideal for small gardens. It bears white flowers in spring and provides a heavy crop of bright red apples in autumn. Unlike other apples, Redfree apples stay crisp and tart even when they are fully ripe. The apples are dense and juicy, and with their colorful skin, they make a great addition to salads, desserts, and sauces. The tree's slow, manageable growth ensures you don't have to worry about pruning or spraying, allowing you to enjoy a trouble-free apple harvest every year.
