cientific Name: Malus sargentii
Height: 8 feet
Growth Rate: Slow to Moderate
Habitat: Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained, slightly acidic loams but is quite adaptable to varying soil conditions.

Pink buds open to a profuse, but brief, spring bloom of fragrant, white flowers (1" diameter). Profuse bloom often occurs only in alternate years. Flowers are followed by small, red crabapples (1/4" diameter) which mature in the fall. The pea-sized fruits are sweet-flavored like rose hips, but are not usually used in cooking. Fruits are long-lasting and attractive to birds, however. Ovate, lobed, dark green leaves turn yellow in autumn. The yellow fall color contrasts well with the red fruit.
