I took this picture last week at the park.  By now, all the Crabapples are blooming.  They come in white, pink, and this gorgeous red.  

 

They are all around, along 19/129 going to Blairsville, Murphy, and a couple here in the neighborhood.  

 

The little crabapples are edible,  but because they are SO SOUR, we leave them for the birds.  I've seen some recipes for jelly and sauce, but it involves WAY too much sugar.  No thanks.  

 

I'm pretty sure that Lowes and Home Depot sell young Crabapple trees; you can probably even find them at Walmart and Roses.  I guess we should plant a few on Crabapple Lane.  They are so pretty.

 

HAPPY  GARDENING!!!
