Oregon crabapple

The Oregon crabapple (Malus fusca) is a small tree native to western North America. It is a type of crabapple, which belongs to the genus Malus in the rose family. These trees are known for their attractive appearance, with white flowers in the spring. While their fruits are smaller and tarter than common apples, they can be used for jellies and preserves. Crabapple trees are generally stiffer and spicier than common apples, with serrated leaves and fragrant flowers that can be white, pink, carmine, or purplish. The fruits, typically less than 5 cm in diameter, often remain on the tree through winter.12
