Why Plant Sweet Sugar Tyme® Flowering Crabapple?
This crabapple is a true four-season overachiever, in the best way. Spring arrives with snowy white blossoms, the kind that make a yard feel instantly refreshed. Then it shifts into glossy, clean foliage that stays handsome through summer without looking tired or ragged. As the season turns, it loads up with small red fruit, adding bright pops of color that can persist late into fall and often into winter, turning the tree into a little ornament for the cold months.
It’s the kind of tree that gives and gives: bloom, foliage, fruit, and a tidy habit that doesn’t demand constant attention. If you want a small ornamental tree that feels reliable, festive, and beautifully landscaped all year, this one delivers.
How to use Sweet Sugar Tyme® Flowering Crabapple in the landscape?
Plant it as a focal point in a front yard bed where the spring bloom display can be seen from the street and the red fruit can add seasonal color near the home. It’s also a great patio or seating-area tree, providing ornamental interest without a massive footprint. Use it in mixed borders as a canopy layer above perennials and low shrubs, letting the white blooms and red fruit act as seasonal highlights. For a designer look, place it near deep green evergreens so the blossoms read brighter in spring and the fruit looks even more vivid in fall and winter.

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
