The Royal Raindrops Crab Apple


Our "Royal Raindrops" Crab Apple is in full bloom. Thankfully, it waited to open until the worst of our rainstorms passed this week.



The tree continues to have a "challenging" shape, caused by both its growth pattern and the trimming the deer continue to give its lower branches. I think this next Winter week need to have a skilled arborist come and prune the tree.


For now, we can just enjoy this explosion of color. It will be all over much too quickly.
