Malus spontanea, the nokaidō, is a species of crabapple in the family Rosaceae, found only in the Ebino-kōgen high plateau of the Kirishima volcanic complex of Kyushu, Japan.[2][1] It is closely related to Malus halliana, currently found in the wild in China, and considered possibly originally native to Japan.[2] Fewer than 300 individuals survive in the wild.[2]
