'Henry Ross' crabapple is a small graceful fountain-type weeper 8 ft high and 10 ft wide (2.5 m x 3 m). The buds emerge light pink-rose, opening to single white flowers. It is a heavy annual bloomer. The fall fruit are small bright yellow-gold, persistent, and very attractive. The disease free leaves are dark green.

'Henry Ross' crabapple is a fine selection from the long series of newer weeping crabapples developed in the past 50 years at Falconskeape Gardens, Medina, OH. It is an excellent fountain weeper for smaller gardens and can be used as a focal point in any garden.

'Henry Ross' crabapple was named by Father Fiala to honor a friend and one of North America’s outstanding horticulturists and new plant introducers, Henry Ross, director and founder of Gardenview Horticultural Park, Strongsville, OH.
