This collection of crabapples represents the best cultivars for this region based on disease and insect resistance, flower and fruit characteristics, and general overall reliability. The crabapple tree’s small stature, showy spring flowers, ornamental fruits, site adaptability, and winter hardiness make it a well-loved tree in upstate New York and a key group of ornamental trees for this region.
An Evaluation Garden
Our crabapple collection serves as an evaluation garden for the International Ornamental Crabapple Society and is one of the many sites around the country that evaluates the performance of crabapple cultivars.
