Callaway White Crabapple Tree

The Callaway Crabapple is a tree that will reach 25 feet tall and wide, with an attractive crown of drooping branches. It is smothered in pure-white blooms in spring, followed by a crop of cherry-sized red apples in fall. It was bred for hot states, because it doesn’t need much winter cold to grow well. Plant it as a lawn specimen, at the back of shrub beds, or along a fence or boundary. Excellent disease-resistance means it stay lovely through the summer months as well.

• A profusion of large white blossoms in spring
• Beautiful cherry-like red fruits in fall
• Bred to succeed in hotter parts of the country
• Very disease resistant variety
• Self-pollinating and pollinates edible apples too

Plant the Callaway Crabapple in full sun for the best growth and blooming. It will grow in most well-drained soils, with some drought resistance once well-established. It is self-pollinating and also makes an excellent pollinator for almost every variety of edible apple tree as well. It is very resistant to fireblight and powdery mildew, and minor pests should not be significant problems. Unlike fruiting apple trees it needs no complex pruning.
