Ruby Dayze® Crabapple is a four-season ornamental tree that brings show-stopping color and reliable performance to any landscape. In spring, its branches are smothered with brilliant magenta-pink blossoms, creating a flowering display that rivals cherries and magnolias. Through summer, the tree's purple-red foliage matures to bronze-green, adding rich depth to garden beds and borders. Autumn brings a burst of vivid orange-red fall foliage, followed by clusters of tiny, deep red fruits that persist into winter, attracting birds and providing cheerful color against bare branches.
This crabapple is more than just beautiful - it's also one of the most disease-resistant crabapple trees available, showing excellent resistance to apple scab, fire blight, cedar-apple rust, and powdery mildew. With its compact upright oval form and moderate size, Ruby Dayze® Crabapple is ideal for home gardens, parkways, and urban landscapes where space is limited.
Whether you're looking for a flowering landscape tree, a low-maintenance crabapple, or a four-season ornamental focal point, Ruby Dayze® Crabapple delivers with vibrant beauty and worry-free care.
