Malus 'Gorgeous' is a deciduous tree. It produces masses of single, semi-double, or double flowers with a musky scent that appears in spring, usually before the foliage unfurls. Tiny red, orange or yellow apples ripen from midsummer into autumn.

Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
