DESCRIPTION

Lovely to meet you, my name is Prairifire Flowering Crab. I am a striking and eccentric addition to any garden, best known for sprouting rich red flowers and tiny purple fruit in abundance along my upright, spreading branches. In the spring I bloom clusters of fragrant deep pink flowers, before sprouting deep burgundy foliage that shifts to a deep green before finally maturing to a golden yellow in the fall. I require occasional maintenance to make sure I am looking my best, and I recommend pruning me in the late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. I am highly adaptable when it comes to soil preference and I am very tolerant of urban pollution - you can plant me right in the city! I am happiest, healthiest and most beautiful when I am grown in full sunlight, in average to moist soil that doesn't dry out.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish the roots. Water deeply once or twice a week during hot and dry weather.
  • Maintenance: Monitor for pests and diseases, such as apple scab or cedar-apple rust, and take appropriate measures to control them.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any crossing or rubbing branches, and thin out overcrowded branches to improve air circulation.
  • (Optional):Fertilize using a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
