Malus baccata

Also known as Siberian Crab, Manchurian Crab Apple, Chinese Crab Apple

Siberian crab apple produces clouds of fragrant white blossoms in spring that attract a wide variety of early pollinators. In autumn, the tree bears dense clusters of tiny yellow to red pome fruits that persist well into winter, providing a critical food reserve for songbirds. Exceptional cold hardiness allows this Asian native to thrive in severe freezing conditions where most other fruit trees fail.
