A columnar Crabapple with a narrow and upright form and purple-green foliage. While Purple Spire® is sparsely covered in airy pink flowers in mid-spring, the showy fruit and leaves turn intense purple in the fall making this an outstanding foliage choice for a small tree in narrow spaces or when used as a hedge. Disease-resistant, and tolerant of a range of soil types. Co-introduced by Bylands Nursery and Jeffries Nurseries.
