Ruby Tears Crabapple is covered in stunning clusters of fragrant pink flowers along the branches in mid spring, which emerge from distinctive red flower buds before the leaves. It has attractive burgundy deciduous foliage which emerges ruby-red in spring. The pointy leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding red in the fall. The fruits are showy red pomes carried in abundance from early fall to late winter.

Ruby Tears Crabapple is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a rounded form and gracefully weeping branches. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed.
