About Siberian, Crabapple Seed
Bitter-cold winters where many ornamentals fail are no match for this tree, one of the hardiest flowering trees you can grow. Siberian Crabapple (Malus baccata) blooms in spring with fragrant white flowers, followed by small, cherry-sized red to yellow fruits that cling to the branches and feed birds into winter. Its rounded crown works well as a specimen, in shelterbelts or as a wildlife tree, and seedlings are widely used as tough rootstock for apples.
