Maypole Crab "Ballerina" and Dwarf Malus "Wisley Crab"

 

This summer, both crab apple shrubs have produced more fruit than I can ever remember. Was this the prolonged sunny weeks in July and August? These shrubs were planted maybe twenty years ago and have never been pruned. The Maypole crab above had lovely pink blossom in April.


As did the dwarf crab below.




There are only a few crab apples left on this shrub after most had fallen and are now by the compost heap.
