Description
Prairiefire Crabapple is a vibrant ornamental tree known for its bold color and year-round interest. In spring, it bursts into bloom with rich red flowers, creating a striking display. New foliage emerges with a deep red-maroon tint before maturing to dark green with a purple cast, adding unique color to the landscape.
In fall, the leaves turn brilliant red-orange, while small purple-red fruits develop and persist into winter, attracting birds and adding seasonal interest. Prairiefire Crabapple thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is highly disease-resistant, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice. Its elegant vase shape and colorful features make it a standout focal point in any garden.
