Photo of Malus floribunda (crabapple)

Malus floribunda - Malus floribunda, commonly called Japanese crabapple, is an old favorite which produces one of the best flowering displays in mid-spring of any of the crabapples. A dense, broad-spreading, deciduous tree which typically grows 15-25' tall and to 18-30' wide. Red buds open in spring to fragrant, pale pink flowers which mature to white. Flowers are followed by small, yellowish crabapples with a red blush. Flowers and subsequent crabapples are very profuse, but the fruits are not particularly showy and usually do not persist beyond fall. Slender ovate, serrate, dark green leaves. Family : Rosaceae
