Description
The Brandywine Crabapple distinguishes itself by the elegant, hot pink miniature rose flowers that bloom in mid-spring. Most crabapple flowers have a rounded form, more like daisies, but Brandywine is one of the exceptions. The tree limbs burst to life with these vibrant blossoms, creating an eye-catching ornamental tree that’s unlike any other. In summer the Brandywine Crabapple is also one of the few to boast multi-colored leaves! The new growth is a dark shade purple, slowly fading up to a neutral green color on the older leaves. The red crabapple fruit hanging among the purple and green leaves create a spectacular display in summer as well! Brandywine displays numerous colors all throughout the year and is an excellent multi-purpose ornamental tree.
