5 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 5 MALUS - THE FLOWERING CRABAPPLES The most important flowering and ornamental tree of the late 1990 s. No other flowering tree can equal the Flowering Crabapple in hardiness, profusion of bloom, variations in growth habits, foliage colorations, and size and color ranges of its fruits. They are unequaled in providing natural foods for wildlife. Many interesting varieties exist that provide for very narrow growth, or dwarf, weeping, tall, and erect varieties, shade tree variations, and varieties that provide gently spreading heads or stately formal growth patterns. They excel in variations of fragrance, in color, form, and fruitfulness. Many are blight or disease and insect resistant. Flowering Crabapples readily lend themselves for plantings on the home grounds, as well as for plantings in the largest cities, our hospitals, our parks, for highway plantings, or industrial plantings. We sell thousands annually and devote about sixty-five acres to this very lovely ornamental tree over 70 varieties. HEAVY TRANSPLANTED FLOWERING CRABAPPLES Each and every Flowering Crabapple we grow is given special attention. Every tree is either budded or grafted on the very best understock suited for that particular species. All plants over 1/4" caliper are all planted with an 8' by 8' cross-checks. This spacing allows maximum head and branch development. Wade s transplanted Flowering Crabapples are individually planted with its own circular drilled hole. Each tree goes into its final stage of development as a nicely branched, twice transplanted tree. Its root system is carefully pruned as it is planted in its own special hole. Extra precautions are given to the depth of the tree in its hole, and in particular, the distribution of the root system. The root system is planted in a symmetrical fashion with the main trunk being in the middle. Our trees have balanced root systems. They are correctly planted individually, at the right depth, to assure you of a perfect tree. Root systems of our trees are not drug to one side or one-sided. It is quite common in the trade to see these one-sided plants, as it is much more economical to mass plant behind a furrow with a mechanical planter, which is the common practice at many commercial nurseries. Survival of our trees is unexcelled.! If given proper care, our trees will grow into perfect specimen trees, typical of the species it represents.

6 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 6 We are very pleased and thankful for your continued support and purchases of the many fine plants including the Flowering Crabapples in past years. It is our purpose to continue growing Flowering Crabapples and to help develop new and better trees for the future. The Wade Families here are devoting much time and effort in the assembly and collection of our present list of Flowering and Ornamental Crabapples. If you have not yet tried our Flowering Ornamental Crabapples, we invite you to at this time. We are sure you will be quite pleased! OUR FLOWERING CRABAPPLES Most varieties have heavily branched tops. Since they were transplanted when 6 to 7' tall, and being nearly 1" in caliper, a nice, clean, straight trunk (depending upon species) is evident. Each year the tops are individually trimmed to represent the species. Narrow species were trained narrow; wide spreading varieties are trained wide; semi-erect strains are trained and kept to grow just that way. An average 2 to 21/2" caliper Flowering Crabapple, here at Wade & Gatton Nurseries, has had its top pruned and shaped at least three times. Our continuous research for improved and best varieties has resulted in our present leadership in the field of transplanted, field grown, and larger B&B trees. Wade s superior root systems assured you of reliable transplanting success, year after year. Our field grown Flowering Crabapples are spaced 8' x 8', are cross-checked in field rows. This spacing (64 square feet of growing space per tree) allows for maximum branching patterns and well shaped plants. Individual selections and tagging is permitted, as is quite often the practice of many landscape architects, landscape contractors, and home owners. We welcome your visit here to view first hand our fine selection of quality trees! As street trees, the Crabapple bear special significance. Limbing up where required does not pose a problem and overhead wires can seldom be entangled with Crabapple limbs. Many communities have now lined their streets with many Crabapple species, cultivars and hybrids. These not only add interest during the flowering periods, but also during all seasons, on a year round basis. Maintenance costs are reduced on the Flowering Crabapples, as compared to larger shade trees. Such communities are greatly benefited by the tree lined streets, as community pride, and community respect start and begin to get people involved in the beauty of the plants and trees.

15 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 15 Malus floribunda, JAPANESE FLOWERING CRABAPPLE (12-15' tall x 10-12' wide in 15 years) Many connoisseurs of Flowering Crabapples frequently admit this is one of their favorites. Colorful, dainty flower buds are deep pink caped with bright red flower petals that show excellent color a full two weeks before opening into a delicate pink mass of flowers which seemingly cover the entire tree. Flowers open in mid-season for Crabapples, and are fragrant, single (5 petals), are about 11/4" in diameter, are pink at first and rapidly change to a sparkling, near pure white. Floribunda flowers heavily, regularly, and every year without fail. Our transplanted trees start flowering at 5 to 6' in height. Fruit is small (3/8" in diameter), red to yellowish-red in color, and are very attractive from late August to mid-october. Fruit is persistent, but seldom lasts into Winter because they are heartily relished by robins and cedar waxwings, which swallow the fruit whole in below freezing temperatures, when other food is snow covered or unavailable. Leaves are 2" to 3" long, are dark green with good fertility, and are resistant to apple scab and black spot. Floribunda has a broadly rounded top and is densely branched, unlike any other species. One large old specimen tree I know is 25' tall and 20' wide and is 30 years old. Its branches are irregular horizontally inclined, and is frequented by many birds of all kinds year round. Its inner branches have been thinned out, and looking up into the tree is very interesting, and truly makes a very nice ornamental flowering and shade tree. This Japanese Flowering Crabapple did come from Japan and was introduced into the U.S.A. in 1862, making it the oldest specimen Crabapple in the horticultural trade today, and is a parent plant of many improved cultivars. Culture: It is very hardy, tolerating sub-zero temperatures readily. Tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions, but prefers fertile, clay loam, well drained soils, but will tolerate a slight to moderate amount of wetness. ph 6.0 to 7.5. Sun or partial shade. Zone 4.

Blossoms literally cover the entire tree. After full color of pink for about one week, the flowers change to white, at which time they slowly flitter away in the gentle breezes. Shaded flowers hold their petals till last. Indian Magic s fruitfulness is unequalled! Almost every flower, dependably every year, produces small (9/20th to 1/2" in diameter) glossy red apples. The apples become attractively noticeable in August and provide an outstanding display of red until frost and leaf drop, at which time the fruit changes to a golden-orange then to a glossy brown in December and through Winter. Fruits are elongated and noticeably long. Its inner flesh is noticeably dark red. Its fruits are persistent, and hold all winter, and it is not unusual to find some fruit still holding tightly when the tree comes into flower in April (26-28 B&B&R&W) (28-34 B&B&R&W) (34-38 B&B&R&W) (38-40 B&B&R&W) (40-44 B&B&R&W) (45-50 B&B&R&W)

26 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 26 Malus Pink Spires, PINK SPIRES FLOWERING CRABAPPLE (12-15' tall x 7-8' wide in 15 years) Deep pink flowers; near deep green summer leaves; copper colored fall color; purplish-red fruit; inconspicuous; narrow, upright spreading form; disease resistant foliage. Bright carmine-red flower buds unfold to deep true pink flowers (5 petals). The flowers are medium sized, fragrant, and are borne in profusion. Flower color carries for a long distance. Color is near a Betty Prior Rose pink. Buds are carmine-red and turn slightly lighter, holding the pink color for many days. Leaves are slightly bronze colored as they unfold, and the flower color contrasts well against the foliage color, attributing to the floriferousness of this tree. The leaves soon turn a deep bronzy-green and hold color well, only to again turn a very lovely copper fall color as frosts appear. Fruit is medium sized, purplish-red and is not borne in profusion, therefore it is seldom noticed. Pink Spires has medium sized branches that ascend into a moderately narrow, yet upright spreading in overall form.

30 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 30 Malus Red Jade, RED JADE WEEPING FLOWERING CRABAPPLE (10-15') Plant Patent #1497. Introduced to us by the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens of New York in In my opinion, this is the best of the Weeping Crabapples. Red Jade is the only green leaved Weeping Crabapple of significance today, and as most green leaved Crabapples do, it blends well into landscape designs better than most red or reddish leaved varieties. In early Spring, deep pink flower buds are evident a full two weeks before opening. As the buds open, the five petaled flower takes on an even deeper pink, then fades to a pink blush, then to a pure white in two to four days. Outside petals are the most colorful. Flowers appear individually, alternately, and are 13/4" in diameter. Flowers are delightfully fragrant and appear on long stems. Flowers are self-pollinating. Fruits are green in early summer and turn jade red in late summer. Fruits are smaller than most other Weeping Crabapples, are egg-shaped, 1/2" in diameter, cherry-like, and droop noticeably and attractively on long stems (11/2-2" long). Fruit is exceptionally attractive all through October, November and December. Fruits hold tight, are very persistent, and will hold until Spring or until eaten by winter birds. The winter birds relish these small fruits by eating them whole, as opposed to larger apples they simply tear apart and eat the seeds within. Red Jade s leaves are green from the first small leaves until late Fall. Branches are slender and weep gracefully, taking on rather artistic, picturesque branch patterns as it ages. Very useful as an individual specimen tree, faced down with Taxus Wardi or used with bark, gravel mulches, or boulders in small garden areas. Its attractive green foliage and white flowers are neutral and blend well with most backgrounds. Culture: Prefers well drained soils of silt clay, or sandy silt clay loam. Colors a darker green with good fertility. ph 6.0 to 7.5. Sun or partial shade. Zone (34-38 B&B&R&W) (38-42 B&B&R&W) (42-45 B&B&R&W) (45-50 B&B&R&W) (48-52 B&B&R&W)

32 Wade & Gatton Nurseries 32 Malus sargentii, SARGENT FLOWERING CRABAPPLE (6-8' tall x 6-7' wide) Pure white, fragrant flowers; small glossy red fruit; green summer leaves; orangish fall color; dwarf, spreading tree; disease resistant foliage. Small red flower buds open into pure white, small, 1/2" in diameter flowers. The flowers are single, five petaled, fragrant, appear annually and are borne quite heavily. Fruits appear in great masses in late August, are 1/4" in diameter, persist into Winter, but are usually eaten by Cedar Waxwings and Robins in late Fall. Leaves are dark green, frequently three lobed, are healthy, disease resistant to black spot, downy mildew, powdery mildew and apple scab. The red fruits in September are accented well against the dark green leaves. Leaves often have a rather good yellow-orange Fall color. This coloring often is quite attractive and not usually a noticeable characteristic of the family of Flowering Crabapples. Branches are often spur-like. With moderate trimming, this dwarf, ornamental tree can become a most interesting and picturesque tree. By bud pruning and shaping, a truly interesting, crooked, weeping, or horizontal branches can easily be shaped into the plant. Birds like to set on these horizontal branches as they find them a useful perching place near a bird feeder. Sargent Crabapple was first grown by seed from Japan in 1892 by C. S. Sargent, former director of the Arnold Arboretum. Sargent Crabapple may be used very effectively as a specimen tree in small home landscape settings or confined plant beds and garden areas. Also use in groups of 3, 5 or 7, on large estates, parks, commercial or bank plantings. Very useful for dwarf screens. Culture: Prefers adequate moisture, but must have good drainage of soil.
