Giving gifts by interest isn’t always as easy as it sounds. So often the person has just about everything they want in that category, and so more stuff in that area is hard to find. They either have a better one or don’t want it most of the time.

Flowering Crabapple (Malus Sargenti)
Flowering crabapples are one of the best flowering trees for bonsai. They produce beautiful +\” white, fragrant flowers covering the entire tree in early spring before the foliage appears. The foliage is really small and lobed. Little green pomes (apples) appear in summer, derived from the enlargement of the entire flower receptacle which becomes fleshy. The fruit ripens to all different colors in the fall when the foliage begins to turn to shades of yellow, orange and red. Winter brings a nice twiggy skeletal outline punctuated by the fruit which persists throughout the winter. They are easy to grow and quite pest and disease resistant. Deciduous. Keep outdoors. Available 12 months a year. Will have no foliage during winter months. 11 years old 13 - 15\” tall Suitable 8\” x 10\” humidity tray is recommended. . To purchase add $4.95.
