'Yellow Siberian' Crabapple Tree
- A stunning ornamental tree, 'Yellow Siberian' produces a profusion of springtime blossoms, as snowy white in colour as the wintery landscape from which the tree takes its name.
- The flowers contrast brilliantly against a backdrop of lush green foliage, which creates a lovely canopy throughout the summer.
- This variety produces striking yellow crabapples, which offer a welcome jolt of colour in the autumn and winter months as conditions become greyer and darker.
- Fully hardy, low-maintenance and tolerant of a range of conditions, 'Yellow Siberian' is a great option for gardeners who want an easygoing, undemanding tree.
- Highly attractive to pollinating insects like bees and providing a valuable food source to birds through the fruits, planting this crabapple tree will undoubtedly bring more wildlife to your garden.
