Profusion Flowering Crabapple - Help!

Hi,

I was interested in getting a Profusion Flowering Crab. Malus x Profusion. Can anyone give some input (I live in zone 6):

1) The tag states size is 12-15' Tall by 8-10' Wide. Is this the correct size? I read on the internet that the width can really be 15-20' wide.

2) Based on the info above, how big do the roots get? Do these trees have soft roots? I want to plant near a sidewalk (did have a wimpy Bradford Pear that fell down in windstorm).

3) If the birds don't get all the fruits, do they fall off the tree? And make a mess on the ground?

Thanks for your help! Chris
