Known as Malus bacatta, the Siberian Crabapple is a hardy, long-time favourite with many ornamental attributes. From showy pink-and-white flower clusters in spring to red, jewel-like pomes in fall, it’s sure to please!
Their fruit makes excellent jams and jellies and has traditionally been used in ciders. Harvest it after a light frost, which makes the pomes sweeter.
Fruit size is usually less than 2 inches in diameter. Many birds love to graze on this tree, including orioles, finches, cardinals, and cedar waxwings. This tree does best in well-drained, loam-type soils. It does not tolerate standing water; planting in deep shade will reduce flowers and fruit and may promote disease.
Seedling size is approximately 12” tall, 1 year old.
