Malus/Crab apple "red sentinel"

very lovely...nice buds :-)

Thank you Jane. This tree is very interesting in fall. Loaded with tiny red apples. I planted it on the end of our forest....for birds in winter.

Lovely to see all the blossom now and the bees are visiting the flowers so hopefully we shall see some apples in the Autumn.

I hope so too Lindak. We have lots of rain lately so I do not see too many bees around but forecast is for much nicer weather next week.

I even have small bees beginning to visit the bee box I have on our fence.

That is wonderful Lindak.

I bought a bee box for two members of the family for Christmas and have told them to keep looking now as the bees are using my box.

We had a Malus crab apple tree in our last garden, it was beautiful especially in the Spring time, Iwas really sorry to have to leave it when we moved;0)

I think that they are wonderful trees.

i also had one in my old garden...hard to leave...but fun to face the challenge of a new garden.....

Are you going to plant one in your new garden Odaatpat?

i'd love to squeeze one in, but it's either it or me, and i want to be able to get into the garden.....too bad i can't "duck" anymore...i'd be willing to fold up a bit, but my "folding" has left me......
