Additional Information
The Flowering Crabapple is a popular small ornamental tree with an extremely showy flower display in the spring. Malus floribunda is an excellent species that has high resistance to Japanese beetles, slight susceptibility to apple scab and powdery mildew, and moderate susceptibility to fireblight. Unlike many flowering crabapples, this species flowers and fruits consistently every year. Well-drained heavy loam soils and full sun promote best growth. May look ragged at the end of the summer.
