- Common Name: Crab Apple
- Latin Name: Malus sylvestris
- Family Name: Rosaceae
Failing to pick up all the blossom from fruit trees does no harm during the short season they are on the ground. Don't offer as extra.
Apple pips/seeds contain cyanide and should be avoided, and only offer the fruit as a small part of the diet to fruit-eating species.
Crab Apple blossom flowers may be either white or pink in colour. See Apple (Tree) and Apple (Fruit)
