How to Use Sargent Crabapple Tree In The Landscape

One of the smallest Crabapples, Sargent features a branch structure that adds a sculptural effect all year long! The mounded canopy spreads wide and displays zigzagging branches. No wonder people adore this variety as long-lived Bonsai, container specimen, or Espalier!

When grown in the ground becomes a true garden highlight! All summer, dark green leaves grow densely to cast refreshing shade.

Use as a backdrop to Butterfly Gardens, or run a hedgerow to create a privacy screen along your property line. Grow in large planters, on balconies, postage stamp lots, and rooftop gardens. You’ll easily enjoy all the benefits of a Flowering Crabapple anywhere!

Fantastic as a standout specimen planting for all sizes of landscape, Sargent is perfect for adorning your front entry, lining a driveway and accenting a porch or patio with selective shade! Add a pretty treatment of Holiday lights and outdoor decorations for a real showcase.

Oh...and yes, the dark-red berries are edible!

Creating lip-smacking preserves, these tart cousins of the Apple are pectin-rich! Helping thicken jellies and add a bright tone. Harvest your fair share before hungry birds eat them all!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Crabapple trees require full sun, so provide your tree at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day in USDA growing zones 4-8. The dwarf dense spreading crown won’t interfere with utility lines.

Preferring moist, well-drained soil that is organically enriched, plus a generous layer of mulch to insulate and retain moisture. Sargent can be tolerant of drier conditions once it’s established.
