Another first-time bloomer! We bought and planted our Blanco crabapple (Malus ioensis var. texana) in April 2013. It was among MANY native plants we bought for my birthday that spring. Fellow native plant enthusiast Matt Murrah was over two afternoons ago, checking out our gardens, when he spotted the buds on our crabapple. So that makes THREE first-time bloomers this spring: Texas buckeye, barberry and now our crabapple. Wonderful!

Good evening, would you be willing to send some seed from your tree this fall for a breeding project that I'm embarking on to improve texas apple growing prospects?
Oh, I’m so sorry to report that my Blanco crab apple passed away a few years ago. I have a friend with some trees. Maybe I could ask him.
