Malus toringoides 'Mandarin' Malus toringoides 'Mandarin'

Medium-size tree with a broad pyramidal crown, to about 8 m. The dark green leaf is ovate and has one or two pairs of side lobes so it looks like it has 3 to 5 side lobes. The flower buds are white, as are the open flowers. They are 2 to 2.5 cm and blossom quite late: around mid to late May. The lavishly produced fruits are round to pear-shaped and measure approx. 1.5 to 1.8 cm. They are yellow with a red blush. This cultivar was received, named and marketed by the the Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture (NAKB) from England (East Malling Research Station). Moderately susceptible to scab.
