Additional Information
The Flowering Crabapple is a popular small ornamental tree with an extremely showy flower display in the spring. This columnar cultivar is resistant to scab, but is highly susceptible to fireblight. The use of this tree is discouraged, as it has such a high susceptibility to fireblight. Tends to flower and fruit in alternate years. Well-drained heavy loam soils and full sun promote best growth. Many tend to look ragged at the end of the summer.
