Tina Crabapple

Tina Crabapple is a dwarf ornamental crabapple prized for pink spring buds, fragrant white flowers, glossy green foliage, and bright red fruit. Its compact rounded form brings multi-season beauty to small lawns, mixed borders, foundation beds, and entry gardens.

Why choose Tina Crabapple?

Choose Tina Crabapple for the charm of a flowering crabapple in a space-saving size. This compact Sargent crabapple selection offers a showy spring bloom display without the scale of larger ornamental trees. White flowers brighten the landscape, small red fruits add fall and winter interest, and birds often enjoy the fruit. Its naturally rounded, dense habit makes it useful as a specimen, accent, low ornamental tree, or focal point in smaller garden designs.

Tina Crabapple Additional Information

Tina Crabapple begins the season with pink flower buds that open into fragrant white blooms in spring, creating a bright ornamental display on a compact framework. The foliage is green through the growing season, providing a clean backdrop for the small red crabapples that develop later in the year. These fruits can persist into winter, extending seasonal color and offering food for birds.

This deciduous crabapple drops its leaves in fall, but the fruit and branching structure continue to add interest after the growing season. Because of its dwarf size, Tina Crabapple is especially useful near patios, walkways, foundation corners, cottage gardens, and mixed borders where a large flowering tree would be too much. Plant where fallen fruit will not be a concern on heavily used paths. Prune lightly in late winter to remove dead, damaged, crossing, or crowded branches while preserving its naturally compact shape.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Tina Crabapple in full sun with well-drained soil and good air circulation. Set the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding grade, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry spells, especially in hot, exposed, or sandy sites.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled back from the trunk or main stems.

4. Pruning: Prune in late winter as needed to remove dead, damaged, crossing, or crowded branches. Keep pruning light so the plant maintains its natural dwarf rounded form.
