Siberian crab is a tough, cold-hardy ornamental tree that thrives in full sun to part shade with minimal fuss once established. Water regularly during the first season to help roots settle, then rely mostly on rainfall. It rewards you with clouds of white spring blossoms and clusters of small red or yellow fruits that birds love through winter.
