Prairie Fire Crabapple

Prairie Fire Crabapple

Ever-Changing Beauty!

  (10 customer reviews)



Rounded 15- to 20-ft. tree presents an all-season extravaganza! First, prolific, pinkish-red blooms. Next comes new purple-maroon foliage, that matures to reddish green. Fall brings a display of red, orange and purple—accompanied by glossy red fruit. Fruit persists into fall or winter and provides food for birds. Resistant to scab, rust, fire blight and Japanese beetles. Bareroot. Zones 4-9.

This item ships only in the spring.
If our spring shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following spring.

Product Details
Zones: 4-9
Height: 15-20'
Spread: 15-20'
Sun/Shade: Full Sun
Color: Intense pinkish red.
Foliage: New leaves emerge purple and turn reddish-green as they mature.
Blooms: Spring 5-7 days later than many crabs.
Fruit: Glossy dark red 1/2" fruit are persistent
Comments: Beauty for all seasons. Prolific flower production in the spring, blooms are very clear and bright, never muddy, new foilage is an attractive purple-maroon, becomes reddish-green and then red, orange and purple in the fall. Red fruit is persistent into late fall, even winter- that is if the birds don't eat it by then. No littering problems, as birds relish the fruit and will eat it directly off the tree.

wonderful little tree
Reviewed By: Susan (Port Hadlock, Wa)
We bought this tree last year. My poor little twig. But planted in a pot and put it in the garden so that it would be watered and watched over. Well this spring we planted it by our house and it has doubled in size and is covered in beautiful pink blooms.Love it!!

Beautiful and Reliable Flowering Tree
Reviewed By: Jaye Lewis (Chilhowie, Virginia)
Prairie Fire Crabapple is the most beautiful, disease, and drought resistant crab that I have ever grown. The brilliant, deep pink blooms seem to explode into bloom over night. Then the lovely maroon foliage begins to peek out, while the little apples begin to form. I have four of these fragrant trees, and in their first full spring, our neighbor, who is a master gardener, cautioned us to stop planting. "You're making us all look bad," she said. Do not overlook this tree.

Incredibly beautiful tree!
Reviewed By: Jaye Lewis (Chilhowie, Virginia)
This flowering crab is a crabtree lover's delight. From a gorgeous abundance of hot pink blooms in spring, to deep, maroon red leaves in summer, this tree's beauty is only equaled by the abundance of tiny deep red fruit through summer and winter. This tree attracts mocking birds and all winter, fruit-loving birds. And it is bug and disease free. I intend to buy many more!
