Planted two twenty feet apart. One is doing fine, one sickened and died after 3 years. The one remaining sent out an assymetrical side branch I had to lop off. After 5 years the remaining foliage is about 8 ft tall and 7 ft wide.

Sugar Tyme® crabapple is absolutely one of the top 10 standard size crabapples for the Ohio River valley region and probably most of the midwest.
Heavy annual white flowers, crisp green disease free foliage, good fall color in yellows and oranges, and persistent small red fruit all winter all make this a crabapple truly for all seasons.

We planted one of these this spring (2006). I chose it because it is rated as having excellent disease resistance. The information I obtained on it says it is an upright, oval, deciduous tree which typically grows 14-18' tall and to 12-15' wide. Pale pink buds open to fragrant, single, white flowers (1" diameter) in spring. Flowers are followed by masses of small, glossy, red crabapples (to 1/2" diameter) which mature in the fall and persist well into the winter. The fruits are attractive to birds. Slender, ovate, serrate, dark green leaves.
