Mature Crab in bloom  CottageKaren

Spring is not here, but this is last year's beauty. Last year was spectacular for blooming shrubs, and trees. We planted the ones in the background with the Cherry giving a pink glow.

the berries are a beautiful red. The birds demolish them in about November. The crabs do need a lot of pruning, but when they come into bloom....

ah, that's the same as dessert apples. They should be pruned annually. I hadn't realised crabs need the same? I shall have to look in to that. Thank you!
