Dressed in its autumn colors, our crab apple tree

By
Real Estate Agent WV0026375

 

 

 

This crab apple tree outside my office window located in our front yard creates a great visual impact during the autumn season.  As autumn arrives crabapple foliage and fruit transform to match the vibrant colors of an artist's palette. Falling leaves reveal the glorious color of the fruit. The snow of winter accents fruit, branches, and tree shape.

The snow of winter accents fruit, branches, and tree shape.  The birds are always eating from this tree in the winter. The photo below was taken last winter.

I just love crabapple trees and may plant another one in our backyard next year... as they truly are jewels of the landscape.

Rebecca - beautiful transformation of the tree with the seasons!  And, while my friend Jane doesn't get to appreciate the fall in the southern part of CA - we here in northern CA get lucky.....

Rebecca, I like crab apple trees as well.  I've had one at just about every house I've owned...they're so easy to prune into a striking tree.

It's easy to see why you love crabapple trees.  We've spent the majority of the day out walking the Bosque (woods along the river) enjoying Mother Nature with Dixie dawg.

Rebecca, how lucky you are to have such a beautiful view out your office window.  I love the sequence of photos. During summer we don't notice the subltle changes but fall changes are so drastic just within a week.  Love the bird, too.

AND our southern friends are missing all the fall displays unless we share ours with them.

Those are wonderfully vivid colors, Rebecca!  This morning, I noticed our leaves are really beginning to turn colors.  We seem to lag behind your area, with autumn leaves.

That is just gorgeous! What is a crabapple? Is it ornamental or do you eat it?!
