Malus Sargentii Sargent Crabapple has a dense and spreading canopy of ovate, lobed, dark green leaves in summer. The leaves change to golden in the fall. From mid to late spring, Sargent Crabapple is endowed with aromatic, sparkling white blooms opening from pink buds. The blooms give way to showy, red fruits in fall that sustain for a long time. The many-stemmed deciduous shrub is a point of attraction in hedges, borders, and city landscapes. Sargent Crabapple is fond of full sun in acidic, well-drained soils with medium moisture. The ornamental tree shows a dense, spreading, horizontally-branched growth habit.
