If you are looking for a focal point for a planting bed or in the yard as a standalone, the Firebird Crabapple might be a consideration. This ornamental crab reaches about 10’ h x 8-10’ w at maturity. The dense spreading deciduous has horizontally tiered branches giving the tree a formal compact look. Springtime brings tight clusters of fragrant white flowers with dark green foliage that turns yellow in the fall.
