Malus sargentii
Also called Toringa Crab Apple, Toringo Crab, Japanese Crabapple, Siebold Crabapple, Toringa Crabapple, Three Lobe Crabapple, Japanese Flowering Crabapple
Sargent's apple is a compact, shrubby ornamental crabapple from Japan, grown mainly for its pink buds, fragrant white spring blossom and small red fruit. Give it full sun and well-drained soil, and it is a reliable garden tree or shrub.
Malus sargentii, the Sargent crabapple or Sargent's apple, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Malus of the family Rosaceae. The species was formerly considered a variety of the species Malus sieboldii. It is a shrub or small tree growing to 6–10 ft (1.8–3.0 m) tall and 6–12 ft (1.8–3.7 m) broad.
Malus sargentii is native to Japan but is commonly used as an attractive compact ornamental shrub elsewhere. Every other year it bears masses of pink buds opening to fragrant white blossom. In the autumn, many small red globose fruits appear, persisting on the tree until winter.
