    Trees That Attract Birds Bees Butterflies Post 6

    Crabapple_pink_3So far, I have given you two white flowering trees and two yellow ones.  Since there is a wider color choice with this one, I suggest red.  This one is great to bring bees to your yard!

    FLOWERING CRABAPPLE  (Malus)

    There are more than 700 named varieties of crabapples-all prodigious bloomers that cover themselves in white, pink, or red flowers in springWhen they bloom, bees and other pollinators make the trees fairly buzz with life. They are excellent wildlife trees.   The best crabapples for birds, are small-fruited cultivars that hold their fruit into winter such as ‘Bob White’, ‘Donald Wyman’ or ‘Red Jade’. They are beautiful small trees and most growfloweringcrabapple between 15 and 25 feet.  They do best in sunny gardens, and they are hardy and reliable.  Crabapples have stately, even dramatic structure.  They do benefit from occasional pruning.  Look for cultivars that resist blight and apple scab.  Hardy in Zones 4 to 7.
