Malus coronaria aka Sweet Crab Apple

Malus coronaria, also known as sweet crabapple or garland crab, is a super rare houseplant native to North America, belonging to the Malus genus. It is a tree that grows up to 10 meters high with a wide crown, and its branches have spines. Its bark is reddish-brown, with longitudinal cracks, and exfoliates in narrow plates. Its buds are bright red with a dark border and ciliate along the edges. The leaves are ovoid up to 10 cm long, sometimes shallowly lobed, pubescent when blooming, and they turn yellow in autumn. The petioles are thin, up to 5 cm long, and the stipules are pointed and up to 1.3 cm long. The tree's fragrantwhite or light pink flowers are collected in few-flowered inflorescences, around 3-5 cm in diameter, with thin pedicels and white pubescence. The fruits are round, yellow-green with a waxy coating, up to 3.5 cm in diameter and very fragrant but tart-sour in taste. For it to thrive, it needs regular watering and should be less than 1 foot away from a window. The soil should be good at retaining moisture and repotting each time the tree doubles in size should provide enough nutrients.
