FLOWERING CRABS
One of our favorite trees here at Sprouts, and very popular in the landscape, Flowering Crapapple's are the shining star of springtime. With shades of light pink to deep magenta and even pure white, these trees explode with flowers usually starting early to mid May and lasting until June. Most varieties of Flowering Crapabble's today are "apple-less", with some bearing only tiny fruits that the birds quickly eat and a few varieties that don't bear fruit at all. Gone are the days of the messy Crapapple! A very hardy tree with numerous landscape benefits, they also help to cross pollinate other apple/ fruit trees within the neighborhood.
