The 'Red Jade' weeping crabapple (Malus 'Red Jade') is a small, ornamental deciduous tree, reaching 10–15 feet in height and width with graceful, pendulous branches. Introduced in 1956, it features dark pink buds that open to fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by persistent, bright red, shiny fruit that lasts into winter. 
Key Characteristics & Care:
Form: A slow-growing, weeping, cascading habit that can be used as a specimen tree, screen, or in small gardens.
Bloom & Fruit: Profuse white flowers in May-June; small, glossy red fruits develop in fall, providing food for birds.
Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 4–8.
Light & Soil: Requires full sun for best flowering and fruit production. It prefers well-drained, average, loamy soil but is adaptable to various conditions, including clay and sand.
Size: Typically grows 10-15 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; requires minimal pruning in late winter to remove diseased or crowded branches. 
The 'Red Jade' is prized for its dramatic, year-round interest, starting with spring blooms, followed by glossy summer foliage, and lasting red fruit.
