This product is only available in store. Visit our Nursery for more information.
Raspberry Spear Crabapple is a small deciduous tree with narrow upright branching that forms a uniform column. Its abundant deep pink buds open to a showy bloom of magenta flowers in mid spring. The burgundy foliage bronzes in fall as the small purple-red fruits ripen. These fruits can persist through winter.
Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Raspberry Spear is disease resistant.
