One of the many selections of flowering Crabapple, Siberian Crabapple is a deciduous tree with a rounded canopy of spreading branches, ultimately reaching 20 to 25 feet in height. The fragrant blooms appear in great abundance, and the single, 1.5-inch-diameter flowers are pink when in bud but open white. The blooms are followed in fall by long-lasting, bright red or yellow fruits which are very popular with the birds; can be used to make jelly. Crabapples make a mess of a lawn, walk or driveway when the fruit falls. [5]
