With an explosion of vibrant flowers in spring and bright foliage and berries in the fall, the Show Time™ Crabapple will be the star of your landscape, nearly year-round.
Add color with dramatic fuchsia flowers. In the spring, dense, deep fuchsia blooms lend welcome warmth to your landscape. Deep green foliage with unique rust tones turns bright red and orange in the fall. Clusters of small, glossy red berries maintain color (and attract birds) into the winter months.
Moderate size, attractive shape. The Show Time™ Crabapple's moderate size makes it an easy fit for most landscapes, growing 20-25 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide. With a naturally oval shape and upright branches, it works well alone or in small clusters.
Cold hardy and easy maintenance. The Show Time™ Crabapple performs in a variety of climates, ideal for zones 4-8. It tolerates cold well and will thrive in a slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Plus, the Show Time™ Crabapple is largely disease-resistant.
Attract pollinators to your yard. Birds, bees, and butterflies love the Show Time™ Crabapple's eye-catching flowers and bright red fruit.
Low-maintenance shape. The Show Time™ Crabapple Tree maintains a neat shape and even branches with nearly no pruning, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
Add flowering branches to your decor. Use spring flowers and winter berries for indoor or outdoor arrangements.
