Malus sieboldii
is a deciduous tree to small tree with gray-brown barks occurring in
sunny, somewhat damp locations like forest edges or wetlands in
mountainous regions. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, blades
being 3-8cm long, 2-4cm wide, in the shape of a long-oblong or oval
long-oblong, many of those on long branches cleft in 3-5. Tips
pointed themselves, bases circular or cuneate, and margins are
biserrate or finely serrate. Branch tips emerge umbels and set 4-8
two- to four-centimeter white flowers with five obovate-shaped
petals with round tips. Peduncles measure 2-3.5mm in length, with
vellus hairs. Bloom time: May-June. |
