From the book Flowering Crabapples, the Genus Malus, by Fr. It grows to 20 ft x 20 ft and has excellent resistance to scab and mildew (Pacific NW scourges).Ģ. Malus ‘Prairiefire’ has red foliage when young that matures to deep green, has bright pink/red blossoms and deep purple-red fruit. Regarding particular trees you might like that would be disease-free, I found a couple of crabapples that were listed in The Pacific Northwest Gardener’s Book of Lists,by Ray and Jan McNeilan (1997). They will accept slightly wetter soils than lilacs, for example, but in these heavier soils they should have excellent drainage as they will not grow in waterlogged, swampy areas nor in soils inundated for long periods of time.” “Like most plants, crabapples prefer rich sandy loams, but even in heavier clay soils they do better than many other trees and shrubs and seem to bloom well once they are established. As long as the soil has a reasonable amount of nutrients and water, crabapples manage to do very well. Flowering crabapples, however, are not greedy and will accept almost any soil that is not waterlogged or overly dry. Even if gardeners are fortunate to have ideal soil conditions, they may not be able to allocate the best part of the garden to crabapples. Soils with a pH range of 5.0 to 7.5 suit crabapples well, but the ideal pH range is from 5.5 to 6.5.

“Crabapple trees luxuriate in full sunlight in deep rich soils that are well drained. Here is what I found about the culture of flowering crabapples from the book Flowering Crabapples, the Genus Malus, by Fr. We live in the San Juan Islands where the soil is not great and the tree will not get much water past establishment. Growing conditions are half shade, half sun, behind a semi-dense fence. I am hoping for a tree that will mature to about 20 feet with a 20 foot spread. I am looking for a Malus (crabapple), not necessarily native, but is decorative in terms of blooms and foliage.
