  • Description

  • Notes

Prairifire crab has an upright, rounded form, and grows to about 15 to 20 feet tall and wide. It has a red bud opening to a dark pinkish red flower. Fruit is dark red-purple, small, and persistent; long after the flowers and leaves have fallen, the fruit hangs on like little ornaments well into the winter months. Leaves emerge reddish maroon, maturing to a dark green. Very disease resistant.
