Apple blossoms are fragrant. The majority of apple tree (Malus) blossoms begin as pink buds and bloom as white flowers. A handful of cultivars, however, have flowers that retain some or all of their pink hues past the bud stage.All apple trees perform best when they receive full sun exposure and have well-drained soil with a pH level of 5 to 7.ala. The apple tree cultivar Gala is from New Zealand and produces light-pink flowers that turn into orange and red fruits. A cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious, Gala has rich and flavorful apples that are candidates for juicing.
Malus baccata 'Jackii' (Siberian crabapple). Attributes: Lightly scented white flowers accent this large, fast-growing, broadly rounded tree. The large, glossy green leaves are by far the best of any crabapple in the plot. Maroon-red fruits color up by late July and last until mid-December.ll apples, including crabapples, are believed to have originated in the mountains of Kazakhstan. Though it's not clear how they arrived here, at least three crabapple species are native to North America: Malus coronaria, M. fusca, and M. ioensis.
