Initially this small tree has an upright habit. Later it becomes round and approx. 5 - 6 m tall and wide. The year-old twigs are dark reddish brown. The sprouting leaf is purplish red and turns dark green later in the season. The purplish pink flowers open out of red buds. These measure 3.5 to 4 cm and open in May. They are followed by small, dark purplish red to purplish brown crab apples. ‘Prairiefire’ is a crab apple with a lavish blossom and beautifully coloured fruits that are only slightly susceptible to scab.
