The Sargent Crab Apple is highly ornamental and offers excellent seasonal color variations. Starting with pink and red buds in spring that blossom into fragrant white flowers, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. As autumn arrives, the blooms transform into stunning dark red berries that birds love. The foliage also adds to the visual appeal by turning shades of yellow and orange during fall. This plant is versatile in its planting and growing conditions, thriving as a dwarf tree or a hedge. You can choose to prune it into a single-trunk tree or let it branch into a hedge, and it will grow well in various soil types except sandy soils. It is also suitable for container gardening and is commonly used for bonsai.
