Malus ‘Royal Raindrops’® is an ornamental flowering apple variety with deciduous leaves, highly appreciated for its high aesthetic value throughout all seasons.

It is characterized by an upright and harmonious growth habit, with a slightly expanded and airy canopy, making it perfect as a specimen tree or in rows along paths and formal gardens.

In spring, between April and May, it is covered with a spectacular bloom of abundant pink-purple flowers, lightly fragrant, that attract bees and pollinators. This flowering is one of its main strengths, giving the landscape a touch of color and lightness.

The foliage emerges with intense ruby-red tones, evolving into an elegant dark purple during the summer, remaining vibrant and bright until autumn, when it intensifies further before falling. In autumn, the tree produces small, glossy red fruits that are decorative and persist until winter.

From a cultivation perspective, Malus ‘Royal Raindrops’® is hardy and resilient: it tolerates cold down to -25°C, adapts well to well-drained soils of neutral or slightly acidic nature, and withstands urban pollution and periods of moderate drought. Maintenance is low, with light pruning recommended to maintain the shape and health of the canopy.

This cultivar stands out for its versatility and ornamental value, providing spectacle and color in every season. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a flowering tree that combines elegance, resilience, and ease of care.
