General: The crabapple ‘Eleyi' impresses with its lush, wine-red flowers from May to June and the fruits that develop afterwards. The apples are delicate and very decorative due to their red color. The apples still adorn the plant in autumn and are even edible. The leaves are dark green and reddish when they shoot.
Care as a bonsai: crabapples are popular bonsai and are designed in a wide variety of shapes. The crabapple ‘Eleyi‘ is robust, cut compatible and the branches are easy to wire. The special beauty of the plant unfolds naturally with the intensive flowering in spring and the fruits as autumn and winter decorations. The crabapple ‘Eleyi‘ develops best in a sunny spot and when it is sufficiently watered and fertilized. Protected winter quarters are sufficient.
