Chive Shido Seeds Siberian Crabapple Fruit Seeds

Siberian Crabapple (Malus baccata) are from the cold-hardy Malus baccata species, grow into resilient ornamental trees that thrive in some of the coldest regions. Known for their showy spring blossoms and small, tart fruit, these trees are a favorite among northern growers. Their compact form and rich fall color make them as decorative as they are useful. The fruit attracts birds and wildlife, and can also be used in jams or jellies. Seeds require a cold stratification period of 90-120 days to mimic winter dormancy before planting. Once established, the tree is drought-tolerant and extremely low maintenance. It performs best in full sun and well-draining soil, and makes a lovely focal point or windbreak in landscapes. Siberian Crabapples are pollinator magnets and often used as companion trees in orchards due to their abundant, fragrant blossoms.
