Crab Apples are great for long season interest, meaning they draw attention throughout the year with their flowering, fruiting, autumn colour and winter stems. Malus ‘Prairefire’ is one such cultivar, deep pink spring flowers, dark red green foliage spring and summer, small dark crab apples and autumn colour as the summer slips away and in winter steel blue young stems. Not a vigorous tree by any means and representative of RHS pruning group 1 (trees), those trees that need little or no pruning, moderate in size and growth and generally best left alone. Ideal for most gardens and gardeners.
