Candymint Sargent crabapple tree

Abstract

A new variety of Sargent crabapple tree particularly distinguished by its relatively short, low spreading and very horizontal form and a foliage coloration that is of a darker purplish green than the light green of the normal Sargent variety. The flowers of this new Sargent variety open to red to light pink with a red edging on the petals instead of the pure white flowers of the normal Sargent variety. This new crabapple tree flowers profusely and with its low horizontal form, the tree has a definite Oriental flavor quite unlike any other crabapple tree known to applicant.

I claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinctive Sargent crabapple tree and parts thereof, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized by its relatively short height and its low spreading and very horizontal form, and its foliage being of a purplish green coloration, darker than that of a normal Sargent variety.
