Malus Flowers (Crab apple): We primarily grow crabs for the fall apples on a bare branch. Since there are so few flowering branches available in mid-May to June, we have received many requests for flowering branches in May.
Crabs do well for about two days in the vase, so are really only appropriate for event work. For longer-lasting branches, see our Quince. |

Forsythia: We can supply Forsythia into May. |

Prunus tomentosa: In early to mid-April, its small flowers on a bare branch open pure white. Later in the season, the flowers show blush pink. | ||||||||||||
