Description

Vibrant Summer Leaf Color

This crabapple is known for its vibrant purple-magenta summer leaf color. Distinct even amongst other similar red leafed crabs such as the gladiator or purple prince crab. Resistant to fireblight, this is another great member of the Legacy-Trees’ Parade of Color™ trees.

FeaturesDescription
Scientific NameMalus transitoria
Height20′
Spread15′
Hardiness Zone3-7
Flower ColorRed summer leaf color
Preferred Soil TypeSlightly acidic / well-drained
Exposure TypeFull sun 

Siting This Tree

Like other flowering crabs this tree needs full sun ie 8+ hours of direct sunlight a day. Stay close to this range of sun exposure when siting this tree. Flowering crabs do not like wet feet so pick sites that will dry out eventually following a rainfall. These trees can handle sandy soils fairly well so long as they don’t get completely dried out.

Considerations

Find the balance of well drained soil and adequate sun exposure and you can enjoy the show.
