Malus ‘Perfect Purple’
Perfect Purple is an upright crab apple variety featuring purple leaves and bright pink blooms in spring. In fall, the leaves turn bright red and complement the small, red to purple fruit. Fruit is persistent and remains on the tree until harvested by birds or other wildlife. Best grown in medium moisture, well-drained, acidic loams in full sun but will adapt to a wide range of soil. Drought tolerant once established. Highly tolerant of urban conditions.
