Lollipop Flowering Crabapple Tree

Lollipop Crabapple (Malus ‘Lollizam’) is a slow-growing dwarf flowering crabapple from Proven Winners ColorChoice with a dense, naturally rounded, globe-shaped crown. It grows about 8 to 10 feet tall and wide and thrives in zones 4 through 8.

What sets Lollipop apart is its tight, symmetrical head of small, fine-textured green leaves, which looks neatly trimmed with little or no pruning. The leaves run only about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long, which is what gives the crown its fine texture. Pink buds open to a heavy show of fragrant, single white flowers in spring, and bright red fruit about 3/8 inch across follows later in the season.

Its size and formal outline suit patios, courtyards, entry gardens and other small spaces where a full-size crabapple would crowd the house. Use one as a focal point, set a matched pair beside a walk or gate, or grow it in a large container on a deck or terrace. Allow about 10 feet of space for each tree in the ground. Bees and other pollinators work the spring flowers, and birds come for the fruit.
