gorgeous Flowering Crab trees as they spill 
their clouds of red and pink blooms onto the 
landscape to signal the passing of winter 
and the coming of another glorious spring.

taking in their spring dress, but very 
serviceable as small shade trees ... And 
now we have an entirely new type— 
a pyramidal Flowering Crab—that
