Special characteristics:

This is one of the most floriferous of all the crabapples. The plant is impressive in every season with large, 1 inch, white flowers in spring followed by dark green foliage, and large, persistent, red fruit.

This crabapple was named in honor of the late great plantsman, author and Arnold Arboretum horticulturist, Dr. Donald Wyman.

The plant has a rounded form frequently found to be slightly wider than tall. It is resistant to scab, cedar-apple rust, fireblight and mildew. Prune when young to develop good branch structure and as needed to remove suckers and watersprouts.

Zones 4A - 8
