Flowering crab apple tree named Mazam

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of flowering crab apple, which was discovered by Father John Fiala as one of a group of unnamed seedling hybrids on my cultivated property, at Medina, Ohio. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel cultivar of Malus derived from a series of multiple undefined crosses of unnamed Malus seedling hybrids, having unusual and distinctive characteristics, now available as "Madonna", a trademarked plant of Lake County Nursery, Inc., Perry, Ohio.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of flowering Malus, (crab apple tree), substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by extremely ornamental flowers, a uniquely long period of bud effectiveness, and a dense, upright structure.
