Description
Royal Raindrops® Crabapple Tree is a striking ornamental tree known for its bold color and refined structure. In spring, vibrant pinkish-red flowers bloom across its branches, beautifully contrasting with its unique deep purple cutleaf foliage. Its upright, vase-shaped form makes it an excellent focal point in the landscape or a standout addition to mixed plantings.
The finely textured, deeply lobed leaves hold their rich color through the growing season, adding lasting visual interest. In fall, the tree produces showy red pomes that are carried in abundance from early to late fall, adding seasonal interest and attracting wildlife.
