Additional Information
The Flowering Crabapple is a popular small ornamental tree with an extremely showy flower display in the spring. Malus transitoria has deeply cut (and occasionally entire) foliage. Tends to flower and fruit in alternate years. Well-drained heavy loam soils and full sun promote best growth. Can be susceptible to many pests and diseases, including apple scab, fireblight, Japanese beetles, leaf spot, rust, and powdery mildew. Many tend to look ragged at the end of the summer.
