ℹ One of the showiest purple-leafed crabapples! Masses of scented, magenta-pink single flowers appear in mid spring. They stand out boldly against the reddish-purple, cutleaf foliage. The eye catching blossoms are followed by bright red fruits in late summer that hold into early winter and are appreciated by birds. Emerging glossy deep purple in spring, the uniquely shaped, deeply lobed leaves maintain their rich color through the heat of summer, and turn attractive shades of bronze, orange and purple in the fall! Disease resistant, heat and drought tolerant, this easy to care for ornamental crabapple provides all-season attraction and is touted as one of the best new varieties on the market today!
