{"product_id":"pacific-crabapple-malus-fusca","title":"Pacific Crabapple (Malus fusca)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePacific crabapple is a small tree that is both ornamental in the home landscape, and ecologically valuable in the wild. In spring, the leafy branches are adorned with prolific clusters of fragrant white flowers, which attract a host of pollinators and beneficial insects. By late summer, the flowers give way to small, yellow-red fruits, which persist into winter and provide a late-season food source for a large variety of birds. The crabapples are also edible to humans, although they are quite small, and tart until after frost. Pacific crabapple is a choice candidate for restoring wetland habitats, as well as for pollinator gardens, rain gardens, habitat hedgerows, and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esunny areas of the garden with moist to wet soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture: \u003c\/b\u003eMoist to wet soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 10'-30' tall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eAttracts beneficial insects and pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Fruits are eaten by birds, bears, and other wildlife.
