The red buds of FIREBIRD® Sargent crabapple open to white flowers along low horizontal branches and are followed by red fruit.

Crabapples are small flowering trees that provide a showy display in the spring landscape for 1-2 weeks. In addition to the eye-catching buds and flowers, their foliage, habit and fruit make them attractive plants almost year round. They are actively hybridized for flower color, leaf color, fruit size/color, shape and – most importantly – disease resistance. Crabapple fruits are usually not eaten by humans but are beloved by birds. Most crabapples benefit from modest amounts of pruning to eliminate water sprouts and improve airflow.
