I hope you get plenty of blooms this spring as well. <br />I guess as long as the "scar" is healed and no little unwanted creatures get into it...it will probably survive.

Your 'Prairie Fire' looks almost -- I'd say almost exactly -- like the dwarf flowering peach (Prunus persica 'Bonfire') that Dave just wrote about in The Home Garden. Could yours have been mislabelled?

I have to go over to that site and DO that but only for reference material ... right ? LOL<br />I love these flowering crabs .. we have gone through so many trees in the back garden it isn't funny but we have settled now and I am happy .. especially with "Flame" Amur maple .. and yes Autumn Brilliance is gorgeous in the Autumn with Flame and Pacific Sunset maple (a little big but we are having it trimmed up .. I can't imagine not having trees .. I love them so .. but now that we have run out of room I don't have one to designate for Earth Day .. but some new plant will be dedicated for that day ;-) .. and those are beautiful pictures ! I bet you can't wait to see what will happen this year with them .. keep the tree and just give it some TLC !!<br />Joy : )<br />No snow yesterday thank god ! hahaCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-32743707382988549522011-03-23T15:07:38.994-07:002011-03-23T15:07:38.994-07:00I love crabapples and think they are one of the ve...I love crabapples and think they are one of the very prettiest spring flowering trees.
