I went to my favorite crabapple tree today; the only Dolgo that I've

department treatment plant. *Some idiot pruned it.
Looks like they sent a teenager out there with a chainsaw and told him
to cut off all the branches he could reach and just leave the trunk.
Everything below about 6' was cut. *I'm pretty tall, so I was able to
pick maybe a gallon before it started raining. *If they hadn't pruned
it, I could have filled a 5 gallon bucket in the same time.
Not sure whether to go back out tomorrow with a stepladder or not.
There's not a whole lot of fruit on it.
There are crabapple trees planted everywhere around here, but this is
the only one that actually bears fruit worth picking. *The rest are
mostly pea-sized, hard, and flavorless.
