Description
Beautiful Pink Spring Flowers and Persistent Fruit Attracts Pollinators
The Gladiator Crabapple tree is part of the Parade of Color in the spring. It flowers between the Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry and the Japanese Tree Lilac. Plant this tree where it can be seen for the 1-2 week window of flowering in the spring! Crabapples are durable, but it is best to keep them out of wet spots that stay wet all year. They perform best in full sun to get maximum flower production. We frequently use crabapples along property lines to provide summer screening of adjoining properties. This means they might be growing in a drainage swale, but we does not consider these wet as they are intermittently wet. They can also be partially shaded due to other trees along the border between properties. That is perfectly fine seeing as though there are no perfect planting spots.
