Additional Information

The Flowering Crabapple is a popular small ornamental tree with an extremely showy flower display in the spring. 'Inglis', often sold under the name White Angel, produces an abundance of white flowers and large, glossy red fruits. This variant has good resistance to apple scab, cedar-apple rust, powdery mildew, and leaf spot, although it is moderately susceptible to fireblight. Tends to flower and fruit in alternate years. Well-drained heavy loam soils and full sun promote best growth.
