SAFE FROM APRIL'S FREEZE

Dwarf Weeping Crabapple

Here's one tree that was safe from late April's freeze -the hardy crabapple that graces my front garden . I got this beauty, which has bronze green leaves and deep pink flowers, at an end of the season sale for $50, a real bargain.

You'll be seeing a lot of these crabapples flowering all over Chicagoland and zone 5 gardens in the next few weeks and what a lovely sight it is.

As mentioned in a previous post, crabapples are king ( or queen as the case may be ) in zone 5.

  1. Hi Carolyn,

    The twin to your dwarf Crabapple that you planted in my garden three years ago is blooming as well.
