Tree
Crabapple
Malus spp.
Crabapples are the ultimate four-season ornamental tree: spring flowers, summer foliage, fall fruit, and winter branching structure. Disease-resistant varieties like 'Prairifire' and 'Sugar Tyme' provide spectacular color without the maintenance headaches of older cultivars. Persistent fruit feeds birds all winter.
