- Malus ioensis 'Plena', also known as Bechtel’s Crabapple, is a compact, deciduous tree with a rounded, spreading form. Its bright green foliage creates a lush summer canopy. As the seasons shift, the leaves transform into a vibrant orange-red, adding a splash of autumn colour to your garden. In spring, this tree truly shines. It bursts into bloom with large, soft pink double flowers that are both fragrant and eye-catching. Although it produces a few yellow-green fruits, they are not edible. However, the real showstopper is undoubtedly the floral display. For best results, plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with moist, well-drained soil. Thanks to its modest size—reaching approximately 4 x 3 metres—it’s ideal for smaller gardens or limited spaces. Interestingly, Malus ioensis 'Plena' was discovered in the mid-1800s by E.A. Bechtel in the Illinois Prairies of the American Midwest. This origin also gives rise to its other common name: Prairie Crabapple.
