Notes
'Adirondack' crabapple (Malus 'Adirondack') is a tree for borders, pollinator gardens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It is also drought tolerant, so it needs little fuss once settled.
Pairs well with Plum, White trillium, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Buffalo grass.
