Malus transitoria
Cut-leaf crabapple is a graceful ornamental tree from central China, prized for its delicate lobed foliage, abundant white spring blossoms, and tiny yellow-red autumn fruits beloved by birds. Plant in a spot with at least partial sun and well-draining soil, watering regularly during the first few years to establish a strong root system. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and improve air circulation.
