About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Crabapple (Malus spp.) seeds produce perennial seedling trees valued for spring flowers and long-term ornamental interest. Because these trees are grown from seed, tree habit, flower color, fruit appearance, and other traits can vary from the parent shown.
Give seedlings a sunny site and fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Follow the packet guidance for any cold-moist preparation, then keep the seedbed evenly moist while young plants establish.
