Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!
  1. Southern Crabapple trees typically reach a height of 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9 meters) and have a rounded or irregular crown. The leaves are simple, alternate, and have a serrated edge. They are typically dark green in color and turn yellow or reddish in the fall. The tree produces small, fragrant white or pink flowers in the spring, followed by small, round fruit that is about 1/2 inch in diameter. The fruit is usually green or yellow and can persist on the tree into the winter.

  2. Habitat: Southern Crabapple trees are commonly found in wetland areas, such as swamps, floodplains, and along streams. They prefer moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade.

  3. Wildlife Value: The fruit of the Southern Crabapple tree is an important food source for various wildlife species. Birds, such as cedar waxwings and robins, feed on the fruit, while deer and other mammals may browse on the twigs and foliage. The tree also provides cover and nesting sites for birds.
