Sweet Sugar Tyme® crabapple has a compact, globular, oval form that, in spring, produces pink buds that give way to fragrant snow-white flowers in April. Foliage is a rich medium green in the spring that changes to a bronze-yellow by autumn. Fruits turn cherry-red in fall and persist into the winter. Crabapples prefer well-drained, average soils in full sun and can be more tolerant to a wide range of growing conditions in maturity. Attracts wildlife.
