Malus 'Indian Magic' is a colourful crab apple with dark red buds opening to magenta-pink blossom in April. The purple-flushed foliage adds interest through summer, and glossy red fruits ripen to orange, hanging on into January. Rounded and spreading, it is disease resistant and a great source of winter food for birds.
It grows to around 4m x 4m after 10 years. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil; clay is tolerated. It is self-fertile and an excellent pollinator for nearby apple trees, and needs very little pruning beyond removing any damaged growth in late winter.
