Sweet Sugar Tyme® Flowering Crabapple Tree

Sweet Sugar Tyme® Crabapple (Malus 'Swesutyzam') is a compact flowering crabapple from Proven Winners®, grown for bunches of bright red fruit that hang on the branches through winter. It reaches about 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide and thrives in zones 4 through 8.

Most crabapples are chosen for their spring flowers. Sweet Sugar Tyme is chosen for what comes after: clusters of vivid red fruit that last well into winter and stand out against snow and bare branches. Spring still brings a heavy crop of fragrant white blossoms, and the upright, oval habit keeps the tree tidy at about 10 feet in each direction.

Plant it as a specimen or focal point near a window, patio, or entry, where you can enjoy the winter fruit up close. Its small size suits yards of any size, including spots where a larger ornamental tree would crowd the house or the property line. Allow about 10 feet of space for each tree.

• Light: full sun, at least six hours of direct light a day
• Water: average, with soil kept evenly moist
• Soil: grows in most soil types, best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil
• Pollinators: the spring flowers draw bees and butterflies
