Sweet crab apple
Malus coronaria
Sweet crab apple is a beautiful native flowering tree prized for its fragrant pink blossoms in spring and small ornamental fruits in fall. Plant in a sunny to partly shaded location with moist, well-drained soil and water regularly during the first few years to establish a strong root system. Annual pruning to remove dead or crossing branches will keep the tree healthy and encourage vigorous blooming.
