‘Red Obelisk’ is a striking ornamental crabapple tree, upright and slender in form, that showcases bronze-tinted foliage throughout the growing season. Come spring, it bursts into bloom with an abundance of delicate pink blossoms which give way to small red fruits that persist well into winter, providing both visual interest and a food source for local wildlife. ‘Red Obelisk’ thrives in a variety of soil types and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a versatile choice for gardens of all sizes.
Plant ‘Red Obelisk’ as soon as conditions allow (avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil). Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake and support firmly. If required, prune in winter to remove any dead, diseased or crossing branches.
