This ornamental crabapple is known for its deep purple, cut-leaf foliage and vibrant magenta-pink spring flowers. It grows to 15 to 20 feet tall and wide with an upright, spreading habit. In fall, the foliage turns bronze, orange, and red, and small, persistent red fruits provide winter interest and attract birds.

This disease-resistant tree thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It makes a striking specimen, accent, or street tree with year-round appeal.
