Malus species

crabapple

Trees and Shrubs, Fruits and Vegetables, Bonsai

Sow seed outside in late fall. Named cultivars must be grown from whip or bud grafts, winter and early spring or early fall, respectively, or from layerings started in spring or early fall. Full sun, does well in dry areas and heavier soil, though well-draining, moist soil is ideal. Pollution-tolerant. Hardy into zone 2

Malus floribunda, or flowering crabapple, is particularly tolerant of wide range of soils, and hardy to zones 4-8. Crabapples make good bonsai, especially Malus cerasifera, the Nagasaki crabapple and Malus halliana, Hall's crabapple
