A new and distinctive cultivar of flowering crabapple, botanically known as Malus ‘Durleo’ is characterized by a uniquely compact upright crown form, superior winter hardiness in northern zones, glossy bronze-purple leaves, an abundance of medium pink flowers, small ornamental fruit and high disease resistant ‘Durleo’ has an unusual characteristic of creating bole-like bumps on its bark once it attains a trunk diameter of over 2 inches caliper. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use as an accent ornamental flowering tree, attractive in a group landscape planting and planted in a row for a screen.
