Crab apples anyone?

There so-called crab apple trees (malus) that grow in Park City and bear mini-apples that taste extremely bitter at first bite but that I love to eat. My wife is even starting to love them too. 

The trees are planted because of their beautiful flowers in the spring. The tree are typically 13–39 feet tall at maturity, with a dense, twiggy crown. 

The flower have five petals, which may be white, pink, or red, are blooming in the spring and look wonderful. 

Good looks, great taste, just avoid eating the seeds, like I do, there’s cyanide inside!
