The flowers mature to cherry-like dark-red crab apples, which can be used to make delicious crab apple jelly and jams. The tree has a spreading habit with attractive bronze-purple leaves that mature to a dark green with crimson veins. This Crab Apple tree is fully hardy and will thrive in full sun or partial shade. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and can tolerate urban pollution, making it ideal for in-city gardens. Left to grow it will reach a height of 5m and a spread of 4m. It can be pruned in autumn after fruiting to keep the shape neat. The Profusion is just that - a glorious profusion of rich colours and fruits. It will attract bees, butterflies and birds into your garden, adding sound and movement to a dull corner or becoming an eye-catching focal point. The Profusion offers flowers from a young age, making it ideal to plant in a newly established garden. If kept pruned to a smaller size, it is ideal to add colour and interest to miniature ornamental gardens or a patio. If left to spread, it will certainly be the main attraction in your garden.
