Crabapple 'Professor Sprenger', Crab Apple 'Professor Sprenger', Malus 'Professor Sprenger'
A very pretty accent tree, Malus x zumi ‘Professor Sprenger’ (Crabapple) is a medium-sized deciduous tree with a long season of interest. Opening from pink buds, abundant clusters of fragrant white blossoms appear in mid-spring, just as the fresh green foliage unfolds. The blooms are followed by crops of conspicuous, orange-red fruit, 1/2 in. wide (1.5 cm), in early fall, which persists well into winter. The summer canopy of oval green leaves turns golden and orange in the fall. The fruits will remain colorful and decorative in early winter until flocks of wild birds feast on them.
