MALUS - FLOWERING CRABS — DESCRIPTIVE LIST 
MALUS adstringens 25-30 ft. 
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. 
brevipes 12-16 ft. 
Closely related to Malus floribunda, but a lower denser grower. Very free flowering

pink blooms that gradually fade to white.
