Malus tschonoskii (common names Chonosuki crab and pillar apple) is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Japan.
The specific epithet tschonoskii refers to the 19th century Japanese botanist Sugawa Tschonoski.[1]
Description
Malus tschonoskii is a strong-growing deciduous tree, it has a distinctive columnar habit and is particularly noted for its autumn colouring, when the glossy mid-green leaves turn to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, purple and scarlet. Single white flowers, tinged pink, appear in May and are followed by rounded red-flushed yellow-green crabapples.
It can grow to 9 m (30 ft) tall by 1.8 m (6 ft) broad in 20 years, with an ultimate height of 12 m (39 ft).[2]
It is cultivated as an ornamental tree, for planting in gardens.
