Crabapple

Rose pink buds open to white flowers on LANCELOT® crabapple and are followed in the fall by gold fruit that persist into winter. This dwarf cultivar is reported as highly disease resistant by the University of Illinois Extension.

Crabapples are small flowering trees that provide a showy display in the spring landscape for 1-2 weeks. In addition to the eye-catching buds and flowers, their foliage, habit and fruit make them attractive plants almost year round. They are actively hybridized for flower color, leaf color, fruit size/color, shape and – most importantly – disease resistance. Crabapple fruits are usually not eaten by humans but are beloved by birds. Most crabapples benefit from modest amounts of pruning to eliminate water sprouts and improve airflow.
