Crimson Cascade Crabapple is a beautiful ornamental tree prized for its deep pink blossoms in spring and small red fruit that persists into fall. This flowering crabapple adds year-round interest to landscapes, attracting pollinators in spring and birds in winter. Its compact size makes it suitable for small yards, patios, or as a specimen tree.
Grown from seeds, Crimson Cascade Crabapple offers a rewarding gardening project. The tree typically reaches 15-20 feet tall and wide, with a rounded habit. In spring, it covers itself in fragrant, deep pink flowers, followed by glossy red fruit that can be used for jellies or left for wildlife.

Planting & Care
To grow Crimson Cascade Crabapple from seeds, start indoors in late winter or sow directly outdoors in fall after stratification. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely cover seeds with soil, and keep moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking several months. Provide bright light and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant into larger pots. Harden off before planting outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first year to establish a deep root system. Prune as needed to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches.
