Siberian Crab apple {Malus baccata} Cold Hardy | Showy Blooms | Edible | Bonsai Favorite | Deciduous 15 seeds Free US Shipping The tree produces white-pink, non-hairy (glabrous) flowers in spring along glabrous branches. With a pleasing, rounded crown, abundant flowers and small, edible fruits, forming dense clusters and resembling cherries from a distance, this crabapple has been introduced widely as an ornamental tree. It can also be used for bonsai.* An extremely hardy apple with very fragrant white flowers, dark red or yellow fruits, 3/8" (but variable), persisting into winter, of full rounded habit, formerly much used in hybridizing to improve hardiness. These seeds may need a further period of stratification to break their dormancy. Soak for 24 hours then place them in a sealed freezer bag in the fridge keeping them moist for a week or two. The seeds can then be sown and should germinate normally in a safe, bright, cold place outdoors, but can take up to 6 months or even longer so do not discard the seed pot. Alternatively sow the seed in a moist seed tray and leave outside over the winter to allow for natural stratification to occur. * The fruit can be eaten raw or cooked. Fruit from the typical species is about 1cm in diameter, though there are sub-species and cultivated forms with considerably larger fruits. A sour taste, but the fruit is palatable. It is often dried for winter use and also makes an excellent jelly. .* For wildlife, Siberian crabapple provides high quality cover, roosting, loafing and nesting sites for birds, in addition to excellent browse for rabbits, whitetail and mule deer.* Flowers are a source pollen and nectar for bees and other insects.* Narrow or wide street tree lawns/pits, parks, yards.
