This article shares information about North American crabapples, also known as "modern crabapples." In the list of landscape plants in gardens and parks in the United States and Canada, there are many cultivated varieties. From a botanical perspective, the original species mostly come from Asia, with a few from the local area. Since the 1980s, North American crabapples have been introduced to China, with the Beijing Botanical Garden planting several varieties first. After 2000, some nursery companies began to introduce and cultivate them through various channels.
Nowadays, North American crabapples have become one of the most planted species in nurseries in the northern regions, and in the past two or three years, they have gradually been accepted by the landscaping market, with more and more of "them" appearing in cities. However, the general public rarely has the chance to visit professional nurseries to enjoy flowers, so the journalist couldn't help but share some beautiful pictures.
How many varieties of North American crabapples are there? This question might stump many professionals, and the answer can only be described as "innumerable." By flower color, they are mainly divided into red-flowered and white-flowered types; by fruit, they are mainly red and yellow fruits. Additionally, some varieties have leaves that change color in different seasons. In summary, North American crabapples are an excellent species that combines the appreciation of flowers, fruits, and leaves. Currently, the more planted and applied varieties include 'Colorful' crabapple, 'Royalty' crabapple, 'Adam' crabapple, and 'Fire of the Plateau' crabapple.
Today, the journalist wants to introduce some uncommon varieties.
