Malus 'Prairiefire'
Prairiefire Crabapple
Deciduous, upright tree with a rounded, spreading habit. Beautiful purple leaves in the spring put on a show with the bright pink flowers. Foliage turns to a reddish green throughout the season, then bronze in the fall. Flowers are followed by small dark red fruits. The attractive reddish bark on this crabapple, as well as its excellent disease resistance, are very nice features.
