Sweet Sugar Tyme
Malus 'Swesutyzam'
There's no shortage of crabapples on the market, but there aren't very many than can earn a spot in the Proven Winners ColorChoice Trees program - so you know Sweet Sugar Tyme ® is something special. While it produces hundreds of beautiful white blooms in spring and has an appealing, compact, oval habit, what really sets it apart is its fruit. It's abundant, it's vivid red, and most notably, it's incredibly persistent. The fruits stay round, robust, and bright red clear through the following spring for a stunning display, even in the dreariest depths of winter.
