About Pacific Crabapple
From the University of Washington Botanic Gardens:
"Unlike other crabapples, Pacific crabapple is very tolerant of wet soils and is a good choice for difficult open, wet areas. The fruits are small, only 1-1.6 cm long, yellowish to deep red. They are oblong rather than round, which is a good way to identify them compared to other crabapples. The fruits are edible but described as sour. They are a good food source for birds.
Leaves are also another good identifying feature, as they are often irregularly lobed, unusual for a crabapple. Margins are toothed and leaves are pointed at the end. Fall color can range from red to a dull yellow. Blossoms are lightly fragrant and white to pink and generally appear in April."

Seedling Size Chart: Medium
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between speciesā growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedlingās root mass to determine its āsizeā (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance ā the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
