Malus
sieboldii is a deciduous tree or small tree with
gray-brown bark occurring in sunny, somewhat damp locations like
forest edges or wetlands in mountainous regions. Leaves are
alternately arranged, with blades 3-8 cm long and 2-4 cm wide,
long-oblong to oval, and many on long branches, cleft into 3-5.
Tips pointed, bases circular or cuneate, and margins are
biserrate or finely serrate. Branch tips emerge in umbels and
bear 4-8 two- to four-centimeter white flowers with five
obovate-shaped petals, each with a rounded tip. Peduncles
measure 2- 3.5 mm in length and bear vellus hairs. Bloom time:
May- June.
