Use LocationAlso known as Iowa, or Western, Crabapple, this large shrub or small tree grows up to about 35 feet tall with a short trunk up and a broad, spreading crown. Clusters of 2 to 6, white to light-pink flowers develop from the tips of twigs in late spring, followed by yellow green, apple-like berries. Crabapple can grow in thickets in full sun and well-drained loam soils, providing an excellent source of cover, nesting site, and food for birds.
