More about this plant
Prairifire is described as an ornamental crabapple with deep pink-red flowers, maroon new foliage that becomes dark green, and persistent dark red to purplish fruit. A source size reference is about 20 ft tall and 20-25 ft wide, but rootstock and training can materially change those dimensions. Full sun and adaptable soil are suitable general guidance. The packet contains conflicting disease accounts, so no disease-resistance claim is displayed. No flavour or human-food use is inferred.

Apples need pollen from a different apple or crabapple to set fruit. A second variety in your yard will do it, and so will a neighbour's apple or fruiting crabapple. Double flowered ornamental crabapples make no pollen and do not count.
