Sargent crabapple, native to Japan, is a small deciduous tree with deep green oval leaves. Fragrant, 1” white flowers bloom in early April to early May. Flowers are borne in alternate years, although off years are still somewhat showy. Clusters of shiny, deep red, showy crabapples develop in the fall. Crabpple is easy to cultivate and is excellent for small group plantings, as a specimen tree, and for wildlife. THe crabapple is relatively resistant to most of the typical crabapple disease and insect problems.
