Malus baccata ‘Rosthern’

Tree: Ornamental Crabapple

Narrow, columnar growth habit on this hardy, ornamental tree. Fragrant, white spring blooms cover the tree and are followed by small, red, ornamental fruit that persists into winter. Good showy accent tree for narrow spaces and small yards. Green foliage turns yellow in fall. Great feature tree or for small areas. Needs well-drained soil but tolerates many other soil types. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. If necessary, prune immediately after flowering so next spring’s flower buds can form, for major pruning wait until late winter; suckers can be removed anytime.

Available in select potted and caliper sizes.
