The leaves are glossy and pointed, adding to the tree's aesthetic appeal. Flowers: In spring, the tree produces clusters of large purplish-crimson flowers. These flowers, while striking, can be somewhat concealed within the foliage. Fruits: Following the spring blooms, 'Royalty' bears small, dark purple fruits. These fruits contribute to the overall ornamental value of the tree. History: Origin: This cultivar originated as an open-pollinated seedling of the Rosybloom variety and was raised in Canada in 1953. Introduction: It was introduced to the public by Kerr in 1958. Growing Tips: Pollination: Crab Apples, including 'Royalty,' are self-fertile. They also serve as effective pollinators for various fruit trees, making them valuable additions to orchards or garden landscapes. Sun and Soil Requirements: 'Royalty' thrives in full sun or partial shade. It is best cultivated in fertile, moist, deep, and loamy soils. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, typically performed in late winter or spring. This is done to eliminate damaged, diseased, or misplaced growth. Height and Spread: Size: After 10 years of growth, 'Royalty' is expected to reach a height of approximately 4 meters (13 feet) with a spread of around 3 meters (10 feet). In summary, Malus 'Royalty' is a visually appealing crab apple tree with distinctive deep purple leaves, vibrant spring flowers, and small dark purple fruits. Its low maintenance requirements and self-fertile nature make it a practical choice for both ornamental and pollination purposes in gardens and orchards.
