Flowering Crabapples

Crabapple trees are often overlooked in smaller orchards since their crabapples are sometimes inedible and bitter. However, where the apple tree shines in Autumn, Crabapples are their most magnificent in Spring. These trees have buds and flowers that line their limbs and act as profile pollinators for apples and other crabapples. Their fragrant blooms give way to colorful leaves through Summer and usually produce colorful, if tiny, fruit in Autumn. These flowering trees add intense color in landscaping.
