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!
