Tree that my husband wants to cut down.
However, I have enjoyed photographing for years and want it to stay.
Because neither of us remember planting a crab apple where it stands, it may have had a wild start in our yard. That is why my husband wants the tree gone. I date it as going on 20 years old because that's how long I've been photographing it during different seasons and in different light. It may be older. Although in an odd place, I like the tree.
After our Bradford Pear tree, it is the first flowering tree to bloom each Spring. Sometimes along with our other crab apples: sometimes a couple of days before. The squirrels and the groundhogs love its fruit in the fall.
