Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!
**Dormancy Note - This plant is currently dormant for the winter! It is available for purchase! Your delivered plant may be dormant, or showing very little top growth. However, you can still plant! These plants are putting all their energy into root production, so they will be ready to thrive in the spring! If you have any issues with your plant the following peak season, you can fill out our return request form to request a replacement plant.

The Prairifire Crabapple is a beautiful and popular ornamental tree known for its stunning spring blossoms and vibrant fruit. Here's everything you need to know about it:

  1. Appearance: The Prairifire Crabapple is a deciduous tree that typically grows to a height of 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) with a spread of 15-25 feet (4.5-7.5 meters). It has a rounded shape and dense branching. The leaves are dark green, turning reddish-purple in the fall.

  2. Flowers: In spring, the tree produces abundant clusters of deep pink to red flowers. These blossoms are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to your garden.

  3. Fruit: After the flowers fade, small red fruits start to develop. These fruits are about 1/2 inch in diameter and persist into winter, providing a food source for birds. They can also add a pop of color to your landscape.
