Malus ‘Prairifire’
$5
Prairifire Crabapple is a hardy ornamental crabapple valued for its vibrant spring blossoms, colorful fruit, and strong disease resistance. This popular landscape tree is widely planted across the United States and performs well in Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast. In spring, Prairifire Crabapple produces abundant deep pink to red blossoms that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. As the season progresses, small dark red crabapples develop and often persist into winter, providing an important food source for birds and wildlife. Prairifire is known for its adaptability and ornamental value, offering multiple seasons of interest with spring flowers, glossy summer foliage, colorful fruit, and attractive fall color. This versatile tree is well suited for wildlife hedgerows, homestead landscapes, pollinator gardens, and naturalized plantings. Seed Pack Options: 25 Seeds 100 Seeds Plant Characteristics: Botanical Name: Malus Prairifire Plant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree Mature Height: 1525 feet Sun: Full sun Soil: Adaptable; prefers well-drained soils Wildlife Value: High fruit supports birds through winter Planting Notes: Crabapple seeds typically benefit from cold moist stratification for 6090 days before planting. Seeds may be stratified in a refrigerator or sown outdoors in fall or winter to allow natural winter conditions to break dormancy. Seed-grown trees may vary slightly from the parent cultivar, which is normal when growing ornamental crabapples from seed.
