Description

Lousia Crabapple offers a stunning burst of seasonal beauty with its profusion of fragrant white blossoms in spring, setting the stage for an abundant display of small, vivid fruits in summer. These crisp, tart fruits are ideal for transforming into delightful jellies, sauces, or even a unique cider. Although partially self-fertile, Lousia Crabapple produces its finest yield when cross-pollinated with another compatible crabapple, so consider planting a second variety nearby for optimal fruit set. With its compact and elegant form, this tree adds a polished and inspiring accent to any Michigan landscape.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily—to encourage robust blooming and maximum fruit production.
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, water as needed during prolonged dry periods.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch slightly away from the trunk for proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and shape the tree, which promotes a polished structure and encourages robust fruit production.

Lousia Crabapple adds a magnificent blend of ornamental appeal and productive functionality to Michigan landscapes, delivering a refreshing display of fragrant blossoms and tart, edible fruit that makes a bold and inspiring statement every season.
