Tea Crabapple is a medium-growing, deciduous tree that reaches 15'-20' height and wide. Its foliage is dark green and its blooms are pinkish to white in color. Birds love the fruit. The bark is very attractive, as it flakes and is dark gray and brown. This tree looks good when espaliered, as it has a beautiful vase shape.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
