Additional Information
'Almey' is from the Rosybloom series and decades ago was once a popular Flowering Crabapple for its showy flower display in the spring. However, the use of 'Almey' is now discouraged, due to its high susceptibility to a number of pests and diseases that affect crabapples, such as fireblight, Japanese beetles, leaf spot, cedar-apple rust, and powdery mildew, but especially apple scab. Tends to flower and fruit in alternate years. Well-drained heavy loam soils and full sun promote best growth. May look quite ragged at the end of the summer.
