Crabapples have come a long way in recent years and this tree is proof of what good breeding can accomplish. A cross between ‘Prairifire’ and ‘Red Jewel’, it delivers the “WOW” factor in a tidy package. ‘Pink Sparkles®’ boasts a symmetrical, pyramidal crown of clean, disease resistant foliage. Deep rose buds open into light pink flowers with rich mauve undersides. Flowers are large and fragrant. Their overall effect makes you pause and take notice. Tiny, ruby-red fruits persist from fall until spring; deepening in color as they age. When leaves turn gold in fall, the little gems stand out dramatically. ‘Pink Sparkles®’ is a showpiece that attracts birds, pollinators and admirers in droves.
