The foliage is so dark it is always canny not to overdo the numbers on this one.
A dark foliaged tree always focuses the eye in a landscape so too many can make a garden quite dark.
Its ascending branches give Royalty a broadly columnar form.
A small tree, it has shiny, rich purple foliage, which turns a vivid red in autumn.
Large, purple-crimson flowers give rise to dark red fruits.
Like most crabs, this is suitable for parks and gardens.
Mature height: 5-7m
