description_en: Genus of about 35 species of deciduous trees and shrubs from woodland and thickets in Europe, Asia, and North America. They are grown for their often fragrant flowers, mostly 2-5cm (3/4-2in) across, borne singly or in umbel-like corymbs, for their attractive, more or less spherical, edible fruits (although some are unpalatable if uncooked), and sometimes for their purple foliage and autumn colour. The flowers are usually shallowly cup-shaped and 5-petalled; in some cultivars, they may be semi-double or double. The leaves are alternate, oval to ovate or elliptic, mostly toothed, rarely entire, and occasionally lobed. Crab apples are ideal specimen trees, many of them suitable for small gardens. Apples of commerce, Malus x domestica and its cultivars, are not described here.
