Crabapple is a small tree or shrub belonging to the genus Malus, which includes various species of apples. These trees are known for their beautiful spring blossoms, which can be white, pink, or red, and their small, often tart fruits. Crabapples typically grow to a height of 15 to 25 feet and are commonly used in landscaping for their ornamental value. The fruit of the crabapple is usually too sour to eat raw but can be used to make jellies, jams, and cider. They are also popular among wildlife, providing food for birds and other animals. Crabapple trees are hardy and can thrive in a variety of soil types.
