Malus 'Sugar Tyme' (syn. 'Sutyzam'), introduced in Europe by Boomkwekerij Udenhout. Crabapple with a wide egg-shaped to ovate, spreading crown. Height up to 6 m, width 4.5 m. Initially narrow, later growing wider, spreading. Green foliage. Blossoms profusely, budding salmon red, then single, white, open fragrant flowers. Fruits 12-13 mm, bright red, retained on the tree into winter. Very good grower, highly disease resistant, particularly against fire blight. Hardy. Beautiful wild apple for large private gardens and public gardens. Requires full sun and well-drained, fertile and slightly acidic soil. Can also be planted in avenues, provided the lower spreading branches are pruned during the juvenile stage. Best on open green verges.
