My crab apples are all thriving and almost growing out of their tubes in their first year. I would not expect to have a few apples forming on them next year. I am looking forward to these helping to pollinate my other apple trees.

Ordered 3 main attraction crabapples for spring planting. All 3 are doing great with one out of the tube before the end of July. All 3 are strong growers. So far very happy with them.

The crabapple is thriving. The mulberry is just now showing minimal growth. The two persimmon are not thriving at all. We are very pleased with the crabapple's growth but are disappointed with the persimmon and hope the mulberry survives.
