Crabapples (Malus species and hybrids)

Crabapples are among the most rewarding ornamental trees for Australian gardens, offering a spectacular succession of seasonal interest. Spring brings masses of blossoms in shades of white, pink or crimson, followed by colourful fruit that often persists well into autumn and winter, attracting birds and providing food for pollinating insects. Adaptable, hardy and generally easy to grow, crabapples are equally at home in cottage gardens, urban landscapes and productive orchards where many varieties also serve as excellent pollinators for apples. See our Crabapple growing guide for more information.
