Default Tree "out of phase"

Now the odd part. Starting last year, one branch of the tree has
started to blossom in the fall.


Someone may have grafted apples of a different variety on to the
crabapple tree. That used to be a big fad a number of years ago
and you can still buy trees online that have different branches of
different apples.


I don't think so. If it were off on the other side of the tree by the
neighbor's, then perhaps. But this is right by the driveway. The sight
of one branch in blossom against the leaves is quite noticable, I'd had
to not notice it for a number of years. It's possible.

Are there crabapples that bloom in the fall, on fully-leafed branches.
