Malus - Flowering Crab 
The Flowering Crabs have few rivals among the 
gorgeous spring-flowering trees. They are hardy, of 
eqsy culture, and will thrive in almost any soil. 
They are available in many shades and when used 
as specimens or mass plantings are most effective. 
Many kinds bear very ornamental fruit. No lawn 
is complete without one of these gems. 
MALUS arnoldiana (Arnold Crab). 10 to 15 ft. 
Large, soft pink flowers opening to an almost 
pure white. Conspicuous yellow and red fruit. 
M. dolgo. 15 to 20 ft. Compact in form. White 
flowers followed with conspicuous red, medium 
sized, edible fruit. Very showy in August. 
M. Frau Luise Dittmann. 
M. eleyi (Ely Crab). 12 to 15 ft. The best of the 
purple or red-leaf Crabs. Covered in spring with 
clusters of large pink flowers, followed by showy 
purple-red fruit. 
M. ellwangeriana. 12 to 15 ft. Rather upright with 
pink flowers. Its brilliant red fruit with yellow 
blush in the fall is extremely showy. 
M. floribunda atrosanguinea (Carmine Crab). 12 
to 15 ft. A small, spreading tree with graceful 
arching branches. Buds rosy red changing to 
light pink. Fruit reddish yellow and showy.

a little later than regular varieties.

Strong, healthy, upright tree, rose-pink flowers. 
Fruit red inside and out. 
ioensis plena (Bechtel’s Crab). 12 to 15 ft.

branches. Its double pink flowers resemble 
clusters of small Roses.

single, rose blossoms borne in profusion. Fruit 
large and yellow. Good for jelly.

form with semi-double, pale pink blossoms, Yel- 
low fruit. Desirable.

tree. Fruit small, bright red to orange.
