Crabapple Malus ‘Louisa’

The Crabapple Malus Louisa is a carefully selected memorial tree, cultivated over four weeks in a specially prepared soil blend that incorporates a small portion of a loved one's or pet's ashes.

Chosen for its beauty, structure, and ability to thrive in Vancouver and across British Columbia, it offers a lasting, living place to remember. Delivered at approximately 5-7 feet tall, ready to plant.

A Crabapple in full spring bloom is impossible to ignore - clouds of blossom in pink and white, arriving just as the year awakens. Through summer its canopy deepens, and as autumn settles, small jewel-bright fruits appear and linger long into winter, long after the leaves have fallen. It is a tree that gives continuously, season after season - a quality that speaks quietly to the kind of person worth remembering. Steadfast, generous, and beautiful in every light
