Decorative apple tree

Crabapples belong to a family of fruit trees that has always given us a lot, from the pure colors of their flowers to the diversity of fruit they offer us. There are over 50 species of crabapple in the world, but they all evoke the same rebirth effect of spring and announce a perfume of renewal. The crabapple tree has been present in our books, paintings and songs for as long as humans have been trying to extract beauty from this world. Its flowers evoke beauty and tenderness, its branches, grandeur and majesty, and its fruit, desire and envy.

It is a light species, requiring a rich, high-quality site, mainly fields and clearings. It plays a major role in Quebec's agroforestry ecosystem. It is the larder and landmark for many living creatures, such as birds and insects. Crabapples are brimming with life, and don't hesitate to share it with the world around them.

This shrub represents abundance and cheerfulness.
