RASPBERRY SPEAR™ CRABAPPLE
So you would like a crabapple for a tight spot, however a traditional crabapple will not fit. Enter the Raspberry Spear™ with its narrow, columnar habit that is perfect for tight spots. The Raspberry Spear™ has deep pink buds that open to bright pink flowers. Bright red fruit follow the flowers in fall and persist into winter which the birds love. Leaves emerge dark purple and later take on a bronze and orange hue in late summer and fall.
Raspberry Spear™ enjoys full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils. This is a great, disease resistant tree and will work well where other crabapples just will not fit.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually with a balanced fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
