Landscape trees, such as the red leaf crabapple tree, are often planted for their aesthetic value. These trees are known for their vibrant red foliage during autumn. They are popular in gardens and public spaces for their ornamental qualities. The crabapple tree (Malus spp.) is a small deciduous tree native to Asia, Europe, and North America. It has a dense, round canopy and can grow up to 20 feet tall. The red leaf variety has a particularly striking appearance in the fall.
