FEATURES:
- Upright, columnar form ideal for narrow spaces or vertical accents

- Glossy burgundy-purple foliage adds lasting color
- Small red fruits provide beauty and food for birds
- Excellent resistance to common crabapple diseases
- Four-season interest with blooms, foliage, and fruit

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Velvet Pillar™ in full sun to encourage rich foliage color and abundant blooms. It thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect its roots. Because of its narrow habit, it pairs beautifully with low-growing evergreens or ornamental grasses that contrast with its dark leaves and bright fruit. For a vibrant spring display, consider combining it with flowering bulbs or shrubs that bloom at the same time.
Growth Facts
- Hardiness Zone: 4-8
- Mature Height: 18-20' tall
- Mature Width: 8-10' wide
- Exposure: Full Sun
- Spacing: 8-10' apart
