These seeds grew into a sturdy tree, and I�m looking forward to using the crab apples for making cider. It's also a lovely ornamental tree for my garden.
I had never tried growing crab apples before, but I�m so glad I did. The tree is beautiful, and it�s exciting to watch the fruit develop. A great choice for anyone wanting a unique tree.
These seeds sprouted quickly with the right care. It�s exciting to see the tiny apples form on the branches. I�ll be planting more next season for sure!
The seeds arrived quickly, and I followed the planting instructions carefully. It didn�t take long for them to sprout, and now I�m excited to see the little fruits growing on the branches.
I love the size of the crab apple trees. They don�t take up a ton of room, but they still produce beautiful, vibrant fruit. Can�t wait to see the tree fully mature!
