'Mary Potter' crabapple (Malus 'Mary Potter') is a tree for specimen use and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Reddish-pink buds open to fragrant white flowers from early to late spring. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it is drought tolerant once settled in.
