Flowering Crab
Royalty Crabapple
Description
The Royalty Crabapple is a highly popular ornamental tree prized for its dramatic, deep purple foliage and vibrant spring blossoms. This variety features glossy dark purplish red leaves that emerge in spring and maintain their rich hue throughout summer. In the fall, the foliage transforms into shades of vivid red, orange, or crimson. Also, large, fragrant purplish red or crimson single flowers blanket the branches in mid spring, followed by small, dark red or purple cherry like fruits that mature in the fall. These fruits are persistent, meaning they hang on the tree into winter, providing visual interest and food for birds. Requires full sun to achieve the best foliage colour and flower production.
