My poor crabapple tree/bush

The flowers on this bush rarely survive to create apples. In the last 9 years, it has had fruit twice. I just ordered one of those 6 inch chainsaws so I can trim it this year. Hopefully, after that, it will do better. I have cropped these severely so they are not the best.

I remember when my Grandmother had a crab-apple tree and made her own jelly.

Uh-oh, she has a chainsaw. Do you use the fruit?

Its flowers are beautiful. Sometimes pruning helps with fruit. But then, I have a black thumb so what do I know?

It does look like it could use a trim. Or two. But the blossoms are pretty. Let’s hope the trimming will stimulate fruit production.
