Father Fiala selection has outstanding rose-red blossoms and maroon fruits. Purple-bronze foliage and bright flowers rival 'Liset' but 'Purple Prince' does not suffer from stem splitting and is a faster grower. Because it matures quickly as a yong tree this is one of the best purple-leaf crabs for growers. Excellent resistance to Scab, Fireblight and Cedar-Apple rust. No Canada.
