Why it rocks:
Gladiator™ Crabapple will stop you in your tracks come spring when its branches become coated with bright pink flowers. Leaves remain a dark, glossy bronze-purple throughout spring, summer, and fall. Its upright, narrow form and small reddish-purple crabapples give this tree ornamental appeal when it's not in bloom. This tree is part of the First Editions® collection, making it a disease-resistant, proven performer in residential landscapes.
Where to put it:
Put this tree to work! Gladiator™ Crabapple has a small stature, reaching only 20 ft tall and 9 ft wide. This feature makes it useful in tight locations, for privacy & screening, under utility wires, or on the parkway.
What it needs:
For the best spring display, plant Gladiator™ Crabapple in full sun. Please follow our watering guidelines for the first few growing seasons until the root system is well-established.
