Gladiator Crabapple

What: A very hardy, narrowly upright to columnar ornamental tree, Malus ‘DurLeo’ (Gladiator Crabapple) features showy pink flowers followed by smallish purple fruit and rich burgundy-purple leaves throughout the season. Its distinctive vertical form makes it an ideal accent tree in the landscape.

Best use: Perfect as a vertical accent in gardens, this ornamental tree works beautifully as a standalone specimen to create visual interest. Its narrow, columnar form also makes it excellent for hedges and screening, especially in spaces where horizontal spread is limited.
