Notes

'Coralburst' crabapple (Malus 'Coralburst') is a tree for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and the leaves turn yellow and crimson in fall.

Pairs well with Gro-Low fragrant sumac, Mount Hood daffodil, Fire and Ice hosta, and Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea.
