Notes
'Centennial Crab' apple (Malus domestica 'Centennial Crab') is a tree for fresh eating, culinary use, and spring flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The University of Minnesota bred it in 1957. Light pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Hackberry, Cheerfulness daffodil, Sedge, and Dropmore Scarlet honeysuckle.
