Apple blossoms from my back yard. This tree is a volunteer from a Robinson crab apple - lighter pink blossom. Entirely too close to the deck, but how could I cut down a tree with such perfect pink blossoms?
What no one mentions in the loving descriptions of Robinson crab apples is that every single tiny crab apple they drop sprouts with roots that reach halfway to China and they sucker like mad things. Clearly, they want to be crab apple shrubs and only a sharp pair of pruners stands between you and crab-ageddon.
