Description:
Prairifire has dense, rounded form demonstrates great resistance to the common diseases of fireblight, apple rust, and apple scab. Pinkish red buds open to deep pink-red flowers each spring that have a hint of fragrance. These flowers give way to small, purplish-red berry sized apples that persist into the winter with little droppage. The leaves emerge in spring with a purple tone before maturing to dark green with red tinges. Fall brings a leaf color change to orange. Both the flowers and the fruit can be cut and used in various floral arrangements.
