Had to settle for something called ‘prairie fire’ species of crabapple. Dark pink, good cross pollinator. Thanks for the recommendation. Got me off my butt.

'Prairie Fire' is gorgeous, too. Glad to help. Very popular around here. I've sold dozens of them when I worked for Jung's. We had a mature one at the front of the store and it pretty much sold itself. :)

I have 'Spring Snow' which is a white bloom that doesn't produce fruit. I wanted that because then I don't have to pick up fallen fruit against the wishes of angry wasps in the Fall! The 'fruitless' crabs are good for near walkways and driveways and towns and cities use them a lot to beautify their 'Main Street.'

Another flowering beauty, which is carefree and hardy is the Japanese Lilac Tree.
