Malus floribunda 
Malus 
FLOWERING CRAB-APPLE 
The Flowering Crab-Apples are probably the most 
important of the dual-purpose small trees. They are 
shapely plants which would have great ornamental 
value if they did not bloom at all. Not only do they 
cover themselves with beautiful blossoms in the spring 
but are loaded with bright-colored fruits in late summer 
and fall—a joy to the eye and a delight to the birds. 
The little apples are relished by our feathered friends, 
and a tree or two in even the smallest of yards or gardens 
will keep the birds happy for a long time each season. 
Just as the flowers vary in color from white through 
various shades of pink, so does the fruit vary in size and 
color—some of the tiny apples are no larger than peas 
while a few are as large as the crab-apples we use for 
jelly, and the color ranges from green through yellows 
to various shades of red.
