Camelot Crabapple

Camelot Crabapple is a compact ornamental flowering tree known for pink buds, white spring blooms, glossy green foliage, and persistent red fruit. Its smaller rounded form brings multi-season color to sunny lawns, entry gardens, borders, and small landscape beds.

Why choose Camelot Crabapple?

Choose Camelot Crabapple for classic crabapple beauty in a space-saving size. This compact ornamental tree offers a bright spring bloom display, attractive foliage through summer, and colorful red crabapples that extend interest into fall and winter. Its rounded shape fits well near patios, front entries, mixed borders, and smaller yards where a larger flowering tree may be too much. It also adds pollinator appeal in spring and bird-friendly fruit later in the season.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Malus ‘Camelot’
Common Name: Camelot Crabapple
Plant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree
Growth Habit: Compact, rounded small flowering tree

Camelot Crabapple Additional Information

Camelot Crabapple begins the season with pink flower buds that open into white spring blossoms, creating a soft two-tone display on a compact canopy. Glossy green foliage follows, giving the tree a clean, polished look through the growing season. Small red crabapples develop after flowering and can persist into the cooler months, adding color after leaf drop and providing seasonal interest for birds.

This deciduous crabapple is especially useful where ornamental value is needed without the scale of a larger shade tree. Plant it as a specimen in a small lawn, near an entry, along a sunny border, or as a flowering accent in mixed landscape beds. Like most crabapples, it benefits from good air movement and light pruning to keep the canopy open. Place it where occasional fallen fruit will not be a concern on busy walkways.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Camelot Crabapple in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and good air circulation. Set the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding soil level, then backfill and water thoroughly.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in sunny, hot, or sandy sites.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to help conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled back from the trunk and root flare.

4. Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead, damaged, crossing, or crowded branches. Keep the canopy open for airflow while preserving the tree’s naturally compact rounded shape.
