Thunderchild Crabapple
In early spring, rose-coloured buds open into single pale pink flowers before the foliage emerges, creating a vivid floral display on bare branches. The leaves then deepen to a rich dark purple through summer and finish the season with brilliant orange-red fall colour, while small red crabapples ripen in late summer and often persist, adding extended ornamental and wildlife value.
