A Pacific crabapple (Malus fusca) is a native North American tree/shrub, common from Alaska to California, known for its fragrant white-pink blossoms, small tart but edible fruits (great for jelly!), and vibrant fall colors (red/orange leaves). It's a hardy, fast-growing native that thrives in wet, moist soils, making it excellent for wildlife habitat and native landscaping, providing food and shelter for birds, bees, and mammals.
