Sugar Tyme Crabapple
Malus ‘Sutyzam’
Sugar Tyme Crabapple is 25 years old
Sugar Tyme® Crabapple grows to about 10 feet, with a wide-spreading form. Pink buds open to huge, blindingly-snow-white blossoms, followed by glossy red, winter-persistent apples.
Cultural Requirements: Plant in full sun for best flowering and fruiting. Prefers well-drained, slightly moist, and acidic to neutral soils.
Once mature, crabapples tolerate drought conditions, but benefit with a 3-4-inch layer of organic mulch.
Disease resistance: apple-scab: excellent; fire blight: good; cedar-rust: good; powdery mildew: good.
