Malus x 'Perfect Purple' (deep pink)

A medium-sized deciduous tree with an upright, spreading habit, it is well-suited for Zones 4-8, thriving in temperatures ranging from -30°F to 90°F. This ornamental tree dazzles in spring with profuse deep pink blossoms that give way to small, persistent, purple-red fruits, providing ornamental interest into winter and attracting birds. Its foliage emerges as deep purple in spring, holds a rich burgundy hue through summer, and transitions to a striking purplish-red in the fall. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and performs best in full sun. Its mature height ranges from 15 to 20 feet with a similar spread, forming a rounded crown. Resistant to deer browsing, it offers a captivating focal point for landscapes while requiring minimal maintenance beyond routine pruning for shape.
