Comments: bBeauty for all se3asons. 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.

Good bareroot
Reviewed By: KC (jackson, ca)
This tree came as part of a larger order, for the most part I was disappointed with the shipping and quality, but I would order this tree again. It actually was what was claimed, it has grown and leafed out and was a nice sturdy fat pencil sized 3' bareroot.

Great Specimen
Reviewed By: Jim L. (Dedham, Massachusetts)
I received the two Prairie Fire Crabapple trees that I ordered from Gurney's about 2 weeks ago. I was very impressed with the quality of the trees themselves upon opening up the box. They were good, sturdy specimens. Since it was too cold at the time up here to plant them, I put them in a bucket of water. After about a week, they started to leaf out. I knew it was time to plant them then! Since I've planted them, they are really leafing out extremely well. I planted them near the street that runs near our house. Crabapples are tough, hardy trees, and they should do well there. I am very much going to enjoy watching them grow for years to come. I would definitely recommend this tree, for both the flowers and the berries that attract birds.

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!
