'Prairifire' Crabapple is a lovely small ornamental tree with multiseason interest. The showy rose-red flowers cover the branches in May. They are followed by burgundy foliage which remains attractive all summer since M. 'Prairifire' is one of the most resistant Crabapples for apple leaf scab, fire blight, and cedar apple rust. The fall color is shades of apricot, orange and red, making a good setting for the dark red fruit. Birds benefit from the fruit in fall and winter, and honeybees love the flowers in the spring.
