Have you thought of giving a tree (or a few) as a gift? The crab apple, with it’s connections to love, marriage and fertility, would be the perfect present for someone special! Imagine making crab apple jelly from your own crab apples! A gift to last a lifetime!
And just for fun:
Not mini crab apples! These rowan berries are also ready for seed extraction!
