Mike's Opinion

Crabapples are for the most part prone to apple scab and as a result have experienced diminished use in the landscape, however, Red Jade is the old faithful that is still in use today. A weeping form, it produces a flat-topped grafted specimen of about 2.5 m. Covered in white blooms in early spring they are offset against the light green of the foliage, fruit is often a pale pink and quite small. Crabapples generally are quite adaptable growing on variety of soils where drainage is positive.
