BRIGHT PINK FRUITS
RED AND YELLOW FRUITS TOGETHER
RED FRUITSThursday, 8:15 AM. 36 degrees, wind WNW, light. The channel is sparkling silver, the sky is blue and the barometer predicts the same.
Now is the time to appreciate the fruiting qualities of the flowering crabapple trees. There are scores, if not hundreds, of varieties, and only the crabapple expert can readily identify them really well. If you want the crabapple with all the best characteristics (flower, fruit, leaf color, size, shape) for your landscape you must do your homework. Fruit can be red to yellow to green, and from cherry to almost apple size. The largest fruits, like the old Whitney, are edible out of hand, and many others are good for jams and jellies. Pictured are a few with different size and color fruits, and I will say more about crabapples in the spring.
