Ecology: Golden Raindrops Crabapple comes alive in the spring, audible with the buzzing of pollinators. The bark provides a winter snack for rabbits and squirrels, and I’ve witnessed over 20 species of birds feasting on the miniature crabapples, including cedar waxwings, jays, house finches, robins, and cardinals.

Magic: Crabapples symbolize health, love, beauty, abundance, longevity, and immortality.
