rozrapp Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 This crabapple on our front lawn has been blooming each spring for 52 years. It’s the only planting remaining from the first landscaping in 1970 after we moved into our house in December 1969. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 We had a crabapple in the front yard of my childhood home. It always had the most beautiful blooms. I started preserving 3 years before my parents sold the house - it never occurred to me to make jelly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our neighbor has a flowering crab apple that for a few weeks is a blizzard of pale pink and white blossoms. I often stand at our back door to gaze on its elegant display.
