Sargent Crab Apple
Moonshine Designs Nursery
Milan, Illinois
malus 'sargentii'
In Spring, before the leaves really get expanded this small tree will be covered with pink buds that develop into white flowers. This dwarf crab grows only 8 feet tall with broad, spreading branches.
Fruits are small, dark red and persistent. The foliage is dark green and distinctive because of the leaf shape, which is usually lobed.
Crab apples grow best in full sun. Soil should be moist but well-drained. Provide adequate space for the mature height and spread. Fruit can be used to make crabapple jelly.
Fall planting is OK south of Zone 6.
