A Flowering Crabapple Bonsai Tree is the Best Gift for Mother’s Day
In the spring, flowering trees and shrubs can do more to lift your soul out of the winter doldrums and gently propel it back into the light than anything else I know. That’s just one of the reasons I love fruit bearing trees like the Flowering Sargent’s Crabapple bonsai tree. It begins the season smothered in white blossoms that will soon yield little green apples. The foliage colors in the fall to a rich mix of reds, yellows and orange, but not before you’ve been able to watch the crab apples ripen.
This tree makes the best Mother’s Day gift, because when it’s close to Mother’s Day, this Bonsai tree will break dormancy and unfurl its blossoms to delight your mom. Naturally, the discerning mother might choose to make this purchase for herself, because not everyone has the imagination to think of bonsai’s as a gift idea. But this tree is a living work of art that will inspire you, your mom and her guests from spring through to the onset of winter. If you’re lucky, maybe this year mom will point you in the right shopping direction and save you both from the pain of yet another apron or vacuum cleaner.
