Are you tired of having your Crabapple bloom beautifully in the spring only to watch it succumb to such nasty diseases as Scab, Fire Blight, Cedar Apple Rust, Powdery Mildew, or Leaf Spot? Does your tree lose all its leaves by the end of August, or spit out sad little blooms during the summer (like Rose's crabapple)? Why put up with the unsightliness any longer? Now you can go from this:
to this:
by getting rid of that ratty tree and replacing it with a disease resistant cultivar. It's that easy. No muss, no fuss, no spraying or feeding required to have gorgeous blooms, attractive foliage, and beautiful fall color.
In addition to 'Prairiefire' (above), recommended cultivars include 'Adirondack,' 'Camzam' (Camelot), 'Centennial,' 'Dolgo,' 'Ludwick,' 'Professor Sprenger,' 'Sinai Fire,' and 'Tina.' Now is the perfect time to plant one.
Not suitable for all areas, recommended for Zones 4-8. Your results may differ. Best results in full sun and well-drained soil with adequate moisture. Not responsible for losses for failure to supply adequate irrigation during first several growing seasons after planting. Volcano mulching may lead to diminished performance and premature death. Plant with rootflare at ground level.
