Purple Spire Columnar Crabapple is a narrow, upright ornamental tree that’s perfect for tighter spaces or creating vertical interest in the landscape. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant pink to rose-colored blooms that stand out against its deep purple foliage. The leaves hold their rich color through the growing season, while small dark red crabapples develop and add interest into fall. Its tidy, columnar form makes it ideal for lining driveways, streets, or adding structure to smaller yards.

Interesting Fact:
