GLADIATOR CRABAPPLE TREE 10gal

Gladiator Crabapple! This upright, vase-shaped tree stands out in the landscape, showcasing deep purple to reddish-purple leaves that hold their color beautifully throughout the growing season. It's like having a splash of rich color even when it's not in bloom.

In late spring, the 'Gladiator' puts on a lovely show of single, deep pink blossoms that create a wonderful contrast against the dark foliage. These flowers are followed by small, dark red to purplish fruit that persists into the winter, adding another element of visual interest and attracting birds to your yard.

Reaching a mature height of about 15 to 20 feet with a narrower spread of around 8 to 12 feet, the 'Gladiator' is an excellent choice for smaller gardens or where a more upright form is desired. It thrives in full sun, which helps to intensify that gorgeous purple leaf color, and prefers well-draining soil.

To ensure your 'Gladiator' gets off to a strong start, enrich the planting hole with Watters Premium All Purpose Plant Food. A good layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base will help retain moisture and keep those weeds at bay, allowing this stunning tree to truly shine in your landscape.
