Profusion Crabapple

Profusion Crabapple is a colorful ornamental flowering tree known for rosy-red spring blooms, bronzy-purple young foliage, and small red fruit. Its rounded form and dramatic seasonal color make it a standout specimen for lawns, borders, entry plantings, and compact ornamental landscapes.

Why choose Profusion Crabapple?

Choose Profusion Crabapple for bold spring flower color and rich foliage interest in a manageable landscape tree. Deep pink to rosy-red blooms cover the branches in spring, followed by leaves that emerge bronze-purple and mature to green with a darker cast. Small red crabapples add late-season color and attract birds. Its rounded habit works beautifully as a front-yard focal point, flowering border accent, driveway feature, or small ornamental tree where strong seasonal impact is desired.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Malus × moerlandsii ‘Profusion’
Common Name: Profusion Crabapple
Plant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree
Growth Habit: Rounded, spreading small flowering tree

Profusion Crabapple Additional Information

Profusion Crabapple earns its name with an abundant mid-spring bloom display of rosy-red flowers that bring vivid color to the landscape. The foliage emerges in attractive bronze to purple tones, then matures to green with seasonal depth through summer. Small red crabapples develop after flowering and may persist into fall or early winter, adding ornamental color and offering food for birds.

This deciduous tree drops its leaves in fall, but its fruit and rounded branching structure continue to provide seasonal interest. Profusion Crabapple is well suited for sunny lawns, mixed borders, ornamental beds, and visible entry areas where its flowers and foliage can be appreciated. Plant it where occasional fallen fruit will not be an issue on busy walkways. Light pruning in late winter helps maintain good airflow, remove crossing branches, and preserve its natural rounded shape.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Profusion Crabapple in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and good air movement. Set the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding grade, then backfill with native soil and water thoroughly.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, exposed, or sandy planting sites.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled back from the trunk and root flare.

4. Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead, damaged, crossing, or crowded branches. Maintain an open canopy for sunlight and airflow while preserving the tree’s naturally rounded form.
