Malus 'Cheal's Weeping' is a small, semi-weeping tree with slender, hanging branches. The descending branches are studded with fragrant, light pink flowers in late April which are set off by the copper-red young leaves. The flowers are then replaced by dark orange-red fruits which appear in the autumn and hold into winter. This tree is ideal for smaller gardens.
