Crabapple Tree

Malus is a genus of deciduous trees and shrubs in the Rosaceae family, encompassing both domestic apples and ornamental crabapples. These plants typically exhibit a rounded or spreading growth habit with alternate, serrated foliage that often provides vibrant fall color. They are prized for their profuse, fragrant spring blossoms in shades of white, pink, or red, followed by edible or decorative pomes. They thrive in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
