Prairiefire Crabapple

  • Size: 15'-20' High, 20' Wide
  • Foliage: Red-pink flowers with persistant fruit. Most popular crabapple since 2011 at our nursery.

This disease resistant cross by Dr. Dan Dayton, University of Illinois, has especially good foliage retention during summer. It blooms later than most crabs. The bark is a glossy dark red with numerous prominent lenticels, and the fruit does not drop. 1996 Iowa Tree of the Year.
