April Tree of the Month: Malus Crabapples (Malus)

April Tree of the Month: Malus

Crabapples (Malus) are a staple in the landscape for a reason. They are beautiful, reliable, and an excellent pollinator and habitat for birds, insects, and animals. They fit comfortably into a wide range of spaces, like streetscapes, parkways, residential yards, municipal plantings. Their size, blooms, and seasonal interest make crabapples an excellent choice for smaller spaces and front yards. From a grower’s perspective, we appreciate their adaptability and the diversity within the genus. From a designer’s perspective, they offer endless opportunities to layer color, texture, and habitat into a planting!

Malus Firebird (shown above) is a compact, unique selection with gorgeous blooms.

This cultivar out of Johnson’s Nursery bursts with pink buds and white flowers in the spring before producing red fruits in the fall that hold on through winter. This selection is perfect for tight, small spaces or as the focal point of an ornamental garden.

PURE JOY! 💛💚🌞🌳 Please enjoy this lovely Arbor Day

PURE JOY! 💛💚🌞🌳 Please enjoy this lovely Arbor Day tree dedication song of The Green Grass Grows All Around, led by the Lynne Thigpen Elementary School 5th Grade Choir! They planted a Swamp White Oak this morning! Principal Dr. Teresa Woodard said they chose this tree to symbolize growth, resilience, and the future, and to sow seeds of responsibility, care, and awareness in their students! 💚🌳🌿🫶🌎🍃🌞🎶 #JoinTheTreevolution

Happy Arbor Day! 🌳💚🌞 It’s our favorite time of year - a time to celebrate and plant trees! This week we’ve been out and about planting and doing lessons with the 4th graders at some of our local schools. Gardner Grade School planted an American Dream Oak, MVK planted a Bur Oak, and Lynne Thigpen Elementary School in Joliet will plant a Swamp White Oak this morning!!

If you want to get in on the tree planting action, we invite you to join the SGN and @itreeschicago crew at the Tag-A-Long Dog Park in Morris this afternoon at 1pm, where we will be planting two trees to celebrate Arbor Day and help Morris become a Tree City USA! You can read more about the program on the SGN Blog: https://springgrovenursery.com/arbor-day-2026-partner-city-of-morris/

Happy Planting! #JoinTheTreevolution
