Perhaps no crab is more dependably beautiful year in and year out. With a graceful, wide spreading habit; 15-20' tall by 20-30' wide; sublime, fragrant pale-pink flowers become 3/8" yellow fruit with an attractive red blush. This is a wonderfully picturesque tree which also has good disease resistance. S/M
