Limited to about 8 feet in height and a little wider in width poetical, the Dwarf Sargent is the shortest of the Crabs. It will need to be pruned as a tree form, removing any lower braches so as to not look like a big bush.
Flowering
white in the spring, green fungus free leaves in the summer, and ending with
orange foliage in the fall, the Sargent adds something of interest to the
landscaping all year long.
“But what
about winter; you said all year long?”
The red
crabapples hang on for the birds to eat all winter, or until the birds have
finished them off.
I mentioned “fungus free”. I seems the white flowering crabs resists the black spot funguses that plague the red’s and pink’s; not sure why, but that has been my consistent observation.
There is
one typical “crab problem”, sucker shoots that grow up around the base of every
crab out there. Just remove them as deep as you can.
The Dwarf Sargent is a tough little tree, worthy of its rank among the flowering trees as a Master out in your field.
