MALUS - FLOWERING CRABS — DESCRIPTIVE LIST 
MALUS adstringens 25-50S1t, 
An upright tree of strong growth and shapely habit; very floriferous and very showy 
in bloom. The flowers are very large, very dark red in bud, opening to a deep rose-pink. 
arnoldiana — Arnold Crab 16-18 ft. 
A fine hybrid closely resembling Malus floribunda, but with larger flowers of soft 
pink. Very floriferous and one of the most handsome and shapely of the Flowering Crabs. 
atrosanguina — Carmine Crab 12-16 ft. | 
A spreading shrubby tree resembling Malus floribunda in general appearance, but with 
flowers of a deep rose-carmine that does not fade to white. A very heavy bloomer and 
a tree of striking appearance. 
baccata — Siberian Crab 18-20 ft. 
A small round-headed tree, earliest of the Crabs to bloom. The flowers are very large 
and handsome, pinkish white fading to pure white, and are followed in the Fall by 
cherry-like red or orange fruits. 
baccata — Gibbs Golden Gage 18-20 ft. 
A type of Malus baccata differing chiefly in the size and shape of the very decorative 
fruits, which are of medium size, waxy, five-sided, and a translucent yellow. 
brevipes 12-16 ft. 
Closely related to Malus floribunda, but a lower denser grower. Very free flowering 
and attractive with large nearly white flowers. 
coronaria — Wild Sweet Crab 15-20 ft. 
Very showy blush-pink flowers, the most showy of the native Flowering Crabs. 
coronaria aurea — Golden-leaved Sweet Crab

pink blooms that gradually fade to white.

A very handsome Crab with large semi-double flowers of soft pink. 
hopa — Hopa Crab 20-25 ft.

followed by large edible fruits that are very distinctly red fleshed. 
ioensis palmeri — Palmer Crab 15-18 ft. 
A regional variety of the native Prairie Crab, coming from the Missouri area. A small 
spiny tree of compact growth, an improvement over the native Prairie Crab. Flowers 
large, rosy-pink fading to rosy-white.
