Crabapple Trees
The white, pink or red flowers of a
Crabapple tree announce the
arrival of spring in our area.
Crabapple trees can be planted
alone as a specimen or in groups
of three for a mass display of
color. These trees look great
planted with serviceberry or lilacs
for spring color. Crabapple trees
require full sun, well-drained soil,
fertilizer, and water for optimum
growing. Unless otherwise noted,
these Crabapples are hardy to
