Malus asiatica
Malus asiatica
Chinese pearleaf crabapple is a small ornamental tree prized for its fragrant spring blossoms and attractive small fruits, making it a lovely specimen or orchard addition. Plant in a full-sun to partly shaded location with fertile, well-drained soil and water consistently during its first few establishment years. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and improve air circulation, and watch for common apple-family pests such as aphids and scab.
