It’s a Shrub.
It’s a Tree.

It’s Cinderella® Dwarf Crabapple

Cinderella is the smallest of the Round Table Series of genetically dwarf crabapples reaching only 6 -8’ in height and 5’ in width.

Cinderella® Dwarf Crabapple

It can truly be grown as a shrub, like pictured at the North West Savings Bank in Painesville, Ohio or as a top grafted or natural-looking street tree.

Fall heralds petite golden fruit which birds adore.

Best of all, it is tolerant of road salt. Believe you me we can speak from experience as we have tested it extensively in the NE Ohio snow belt!

Don’t Just Take
Our Word for it

GWA member Jane Farr Milliman has this to say about growing Cinderella Dwarf Crabapple:

“I first saw Cinderella in a garden setting while visiting Lake County Nursery, Inc. several years ago, and fell in love with this adorable, petite crabapple. I knew I’d have to have one.

My chance came the following spring when I renovated my front garden. I saved the prime spot for this tree and have never regretted it. The shape is perfect, it’s completely carefree, and it looks great all year.”
