David Crabapple is a rounded tree valued for its early blooming habit and smaller size. A prolific crop of light pink buds open to white blooms that are followed by disease resistant green leaves and persistent red fruits in the fall. Scab resistance is Good, while resistance to Fireblight, Cedar-Apple Rust and Mildew is Excellent. Hardiness is USDA Zone 4.

Jackii Crabapple (Malus baccata ‘Jackii’) is the first to bloom in the spring, its long-lasting and profuse crop of white blossoms a welcome sight as winter winds to a close. Hardy through USDA Zone 2, its very glossy green foliage gives it a clean appearance all summer. Red fruits brighten the branches of this rounded tree that grows to a height and spread of approximately 20 feet. Resistance to scab, Cedar-Apple Rust and Mildew is Excellent, and resistance to Fireblight, Good.

Pink Spires Crabapple greets the early spring with bright pink flowers and reddish purple foliage. Not only does it flower earlier than most, its bloom stage is longer lasting as well. Dense upright branching gives Pink Spires a symmetrical oval form that is quite narrow in youth. It grows to a height of about 15 feet with a spread of about 32 feet. Resistance to Scab and Fireblight is fair. Mildew resistance is good, while resistance to Cedar-Apple rust is excellent.

Purple Prince Crabapple (Malus ‘Purple Prince’ PP 8478) leaves emerge in spring with a rich purple tint that warms to bronze green in summer.  Rose red blossoms mature to tiny maroon fruits that persist into winter. Easy to misidentify as Prairifire, this is probably the best purple foliaged crabapple for growers due to its faster growth in the nursery.

Red Splendor Crabapple has glossy red tinted foliage in spring and summer that is followed by a fine show of red fruit in the fall. Flowers are pink. Its red fruit is very persistent.

Robinson Crabapple is a great all-around performer, a fast grower that establishes itself quickly in the landscape. Deep pink flowers, bronze green foliage and abundant red fruits made it an all season favorite.

Spring Snow Crabappple flowers early and consistently from year to year. Its pure white flowers do not set fruit, making this cultivar an excellent choice for locations such as courtyards and patios or along sidewalks where fruit would be objectionable. Narrow in youth, Spring Snow Crabapple develops a dense, oval canopy that broadens to a spread of about 22 feet and height of about 25 feet.

Disease resistance is mixed, with excellent and good resistance to mildew and cedar-apple rust, respectively. Although fireblight resistance is fair, and scab resistance is poor, it performs very well in areas where these diseases are not a problem.
