Show Time Crabapple (Malus 'Shotizam')

Show Time Crabapple (Malus 'Shotizam') is a bold ornamental tree selected for its profuse deep pink blooms, rich purple-tinted foliage, and glossy red fruit. Designed to deliver maximum color and visual impact from spring through winter, this variety maintains a symmetrical, upright-oval form that works well in residential and commercial landscapes. Its strong disease resistance and tidy structure make it both beautiful and practical.

Distinctive Features

In early spring, Show Time bursts into bloom with an abundance of deep rose-pink flowers that nearly cover the branches. The foliage emerges with reddish tones and matures to dark green with subtle burgundy overtones. Small red fruits develop in late summer and persist through much of winter, offering seasonal interest and food for birds. With a mature height of 20 to 25 feet and spread of about 15 feet, it fits well into smaller landscapes without sacrificing presence.
