Malus Donald Wyman

Donald Wyman Crabapple

Malus ‘Donald Wyman’ is a flowering crabapple tree prized for its masses of fragrant white spring flowers, glossy dark green foliage, and abundant bright red fruit that often persists well into winter. This deciduous tree has a broad, rounded to slightly spreading habit and is especially valued for four-season interest and strong disease resistance.

Mature Size: 15–20' wide x 15–20' high
USDA Zones: 4a–8b
Form: Rounded, slightly spreading

Wildlife: Bees visit the flowers; fruit adds ornamental value and may attract birds later in the season.

Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent as a specimen, lawn tree, or in small groupings. Pink buds open to single white flowers, followed by small bright red crabapples that hold well, giving long ornamental display into fall and winter.

Care: Plant in full sun with good air circulation. Water regularly during establishment, then as needed during dry periods. Prune in late winter to remove crossing, damaged, or crowded branches and maintain the tree’s broad framework.
