Notes

'Donald Wyman' crabapple (Malus 'Donald Wyman') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, 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. It bears white, fragrant flowers and draws bees, butterflies, and birds. The leaves turn a nice color in fall. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit on its own.

Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Gladiator ornamental onion, Pink Impression tulip, and Raspberry.
