Cardinal Flowering Crabapple is a deciduous flowering tree that opens with age to a broad spreading crown and purple buds that open to delightful bright pinkish-red flowers in mid spring as the foliage. The glossy bronze green foliage emerges burgundy red and turns vibrant orange in fall. Its small deep red fruits ripen in fall and persist in winter adding interest. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Cardinal has excellent disease resistance.
