Malus sylvestris
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Rosales Family: Rosaceae Genus: Malus Species: M. sylvestris
Binomial name
Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.

Malus sylvestris is a species of Malus (crabapple), native to Europe from Spain, Italy and Greece to southern Scandinavia and Russia. Its scientific name means forest apple. In the past, it was thought to be an important ancestor of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica), but these are now known to be derived from the central Asian species Malus sieversii. The truly wild tree has thorns.

The flowers are hermaphrodite and are pollinated by insects.
