Malus Jeflite – Starlite® Crabapple

Botanical Name: Malus Jeflite

Alternate Name: Starlite Flowering Crabapple

The Starlite® Crabapple (Malus Jeflite) is a stunning, small, deciduous flowering tree. It has a beautiful display of pure white flowers in spring. Following the flowers, the canopy is covered with tiny bright-colored berries from late summer through winter. This cultivar is particularly cold hardy.

Starlite® Crabapple is small, growing to a height and width of 10-20 feet. It has a rounded, dense canopy with an upright growth habit. It makes a beautiful addition to small landscapes where seasonal interest is needed.

It develops beautiful, white, fragrant flowers in the spring that attract pollinators. The blooms are followed by a profusion of tiny but bright candy-apple red pomes. These develop in late summer and persist on the tree into winter, providing vibrant seasonal color.

The leaves of the Starlite® Crabapple tree are pointed, glossy, and dark green. They hold their color through the spring and summer, and then put on an outstanding bright yellow display in the fall.

This crabapple tree has excellent apple scab resistance, as well as disease resistant foliage. It is adaptable to different soil types and pH levels, as well as being very tolerant of urban pollution, thriving in city gardens.
