Prairifire Crabapple (Malus 'Prairifire')
Prairifire Crabapple is a standout ornamental tree loved for its long-lasting magenta-pink spring blooms. Its blossoms emerge in profusion, covering the tree in vibrant color that welcomes the season with energy and charm.
Following its floral display, Prairifire produces small maroon-red crabapples that remain on the branches into winter, providing food for birds and attractive seasonal interest. The foliage starts as a deep reddish-purple, matures to dark green with a purple tint, and shifts to bronze-orange tones in fall.
One of the most disease-resistant crabapples, Prairifire is especially valued for its toughness, adaptability, and resilience against common crabapple issues like apple scab and rust.

These trees were far beyond what I expected. They arrived fully foliated and with a large amount of fruit present. The transplanting process went off without a hitch and there was very little loss of foliage or fruit.
