Emerald Spire Crabapple
Malus 'Emerald Spire' is a columnar ornamental crabapple remarkable for its narrow, upright silhouette, ideal for restricted spaces or structured plantings. It offers abundant spring flowering with purplish-pink blossoms, followed by purple foliage that turns dark green, then orangey-red in autumn, providing continuous visual appeal over three seasons. It produces small, persistent red fruits, which are decorative and enjoyed by wildlife. Perfect for urban plantings, narrow hedges, as a standalone specimen, or in an alignment, 'Emerald Spire' combines architectural form, floriferousness, and easy maintenance, all while boasting excellent hardiness for the Quebec climate. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, where it can develop its full vigor while maintaining its naturally compact and upright form, without requiring severe pruning.
