Crabapple Tree - Malus Purple Prince
Malus 'Purple Prince' is a striking and compact ornamental crabapple, prized for its rich colour and neat shape. In spring, it bursts into deep rose-pink blossom that covers the tree, attracting bees and pollinators. This is followed by small, glossy purple-red fruits that persist into winter, while the foliage starts deep purple and matures to green with a burgundy tint, adding depth and drama to any garden.
Purple Prince is fast-growing, disease-resistant, and requires minimal care, just prune lightly in late winter to maintain its natural shape. Combine with Malus 'Profusion Improved' or Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' for a bold, colour-rich garden design.
Supplied as bare root fruit trees.
