Ornamental Tree that Attracts Birds: Indian Magic Flowering Crabapple

The Indian Magic Flowering Crabapple (Malus 'Indian Magic') is an ornamental tree that attracts birds in the spring time. In my area it especially attracts American Robins.

This a picture of the tree in full bloom in my backyard on an April afternoon last year.

Fruit

The fruit is persistent on the tree through the winter. In the early spring it ripens.

Wildlife: Birds

The first American Robins to migrate north from warmer climates flock to the Indian Magic Crabapple trees to eat the ripened fruit. The fruit provides them nourishment when the ground is still frozen.

When the ground thaws the American Robins start eating worms and insects.

Then the Indian Magic Crabapple's fruit falls to the ground and the trees buds come out to start the cycle over again.

These looks really amazing very unique and awesome : )

wonderful photography of the natural beauty and thanks for sharing Cherry is my favorite fruit.

These are a nice pictures of a tree from your garden. And it's very kind of you, and helpful that you added a description! Unfortunately, it shows that in the region of my country where I live, it would be difficult for it to survive the winter. Sadly, but referring to the temperature mapping, my country is between purple and pink (3b). Thank you for interesting article :)

You have decorated this post with flowers, fruits, birds.very nice blog.

Nice article talking about the ecosystem between bird and foliage. Your closeups of the blooms and the berries show how gorgeous this tree is. Nice work!

today i catched your article at right time :P which fruit is it in the picture?

It is the fruit from the Indian Magic Crabapple tree. That is what the fruit looks like in the fall. At the end of winter the fruit is more reddish.

Have a great day!
