This product is only available in store. Visit our Nursery for more information.
Sparkling Sprite Crabapple is a dwarf deciduous tree with distinct broad ascending branching that forms a dense rounded crown. Its abundant rose pink buds open to a showy bloom of white flowers in mid spring. The bright green foliage turns bright yellow in fall as the golden-yellow fruits ripen to orange. These fruits can persist through winter. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils.
