Description

The Harvest Gold Crabapple is a stunning ornamental tree that delivers year-round beauty with its abundant white spring blossoms, bright golden-yellow fruit, and rich fall foliage. Unlike many crabapples, its firm, long-lasting golden fruit persists into winter, providing both visual appeal and a food source for birds. Its upright, vase-shaped form makes it an excellent choice for streetscapes, yards, and garden borders. Additionally, Harvest Gold is one of the most disease-resistant crabapples, offering exceptional performance with minimal maintenance.

Key Features:

  • Brilliant Golden Fruit: Small yellow crabapples persist into winter, providing color and wildlife interest.
  • Abundant Spring Blooms: Covered in fragrant white flowers in spring, attracting pollinators.
  • Outstanding Disease Resistance: Highly resistant to apple scab, fire blight, and cedar-apple rust.
  • Vibrant Fall Color: Green foliage turns golden-yellow to orange before leaf drop.
  • Upright Growth Habit: A graceful, vase-shaped tree perfect for urban and residential landscapes.

Mature Size:

  • Height: 20–25 feet
  • Spread: 15–20 feet
  • Growth Rate: Moderate

USDA Hardiness Zones:

  • Zones: 4–8

Care Instructions:

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) for best flowering and fruit production.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil but adapts to various conditions.
  • Watering: Water deeply during the first year to establish roots; drought-tolerant once mature.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning required; remove dead or crossing branches in late winter.
  • Disease Resistance: Naturally resistant to major crabapple diseases, reducing the need for treatments.

Landscape Uses:

  • Perfect as a specimen tree, street tree, or in mixed borders
  • Provides winter interest with its bright golden fruit

How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

Crabapple trees need ample sun and water to grow. They take about a year to establish, and during that time need regular watering. Water for 10 minutes once a week during the hot days of summer and spring, and then decrease that to once a month in fall and winter months. Once crabapples are established they need little additional watering. Prune in the spring after the crabapple has stopped blooming.
