Spring Memories
Beautiful flowering crabapple trees at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York. This is one of the weeping varieties, possibly Red Jade.
Home gardeners plant crabapple trees for their gorgeous display of flowers in spring and fruit in the fall. But apple growers will disperse them through an orchard where their natural virility combined with the ability to freely hybridize with conventional apples makes them perfect pollenizers. Growers commonly place one crabapple tree for every six or seven apple trees, Bees and other pollinators then ferry the crabapple pollen to other trees in the orchard.
I appreciate your all of kind comments. Have a great day whenever you see this!
