Malus 'Purple Spire'

Malus 'Purple Spire' is a columnar ornamental apple tree with dark purple foliage, prized for its narrow, upright form, ideal for confined spaces, decorative hedges, or architectural plantings. In spring, it is covered in dark pink flowers with purple highlights, contrasting vividly with its dense foliage. In autumn, it produces small, persistent dark red fruits that provide winter interest and nourish local wildlife. Its foliage, very decorative throughout the season, turns coppery red in autumn, enhancing its landscape presence. Very hardy, disease-resistant, and low-maintenance, 'Purple Spire' prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. This cultivar structures space with elegance and sobriety, while offering vibrant blossoms, sustained foliage, and persistent fruit in a compact format.
