European crab apple
Malus sylvestris
European crab apple is a small, ornamental deciduous tree prized for its spring blossoms and small tart fruits that support wildlife. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil, and water regularly during the first two growing seasons to establish the root system. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove crossing branches, and enjoy the autumn display of colorful crabapples attractive to birds.
