Flowering Crab
Purple Spire Crabapple
Description
The Purple Spire Crab features a distinctively narrow, columnar growth habit, making it ideal for planting near driveways, decks, or as a vertical accent. The standout feature is its deep purple to burgundy glossy leaves that maintain their rich colour throughout the summer and transition to a reddish purple in the fall. It produces fragrant rose pink blossoms in mid spring which are followed by small, sparse purple to dark red ornamental fruits that often persist into winter, providing food for birds. For best foliage colour, plant in full sun.
