The hardy Emerald Spire® Crabapple is a slow-growing, columnar tree with bright fuchsia buds that open to pink spring flowers. It produces abundant red 1-inch fruit that falls in a concentrated area due to its compact canopy. The dark green to purple leaves are disease-resistant and turn yellow in the fall. Preferring moist, well-drained soil, this crabapple is ideal as an accent tree, screen, or for small spaces.
