Does everyone react that way when they see a bryophyte? 💚

A Tree For All Seasons Crabapples Video - Floret Flowers
There are no other trees that I know of that offer so much beauty throughout the year than crabapples—they really are a tree for all seasons.
Tree Thursday: Crabapples!
Beautiful, hardy little trees with gorgeous flowers and small fruits. You can eat crabapples raw, but they can pack a bitter punch. A better idea is to use them to make cider. 😋
