I am looking for a bright pink and a bright red crab that will do good in mid Atlantic area. Probably will get a Brandywine. Any suggestions?
Profusion, Robinson, PrarieFire are three you might look at…all have been around for years and should be fairly easy to find. One of them gets fireblight–memory fails as to the one. Royal Raindrops is a more recent one.
But I prefer crabs that have bigger/useful fruit.
“Van Eseltine” - upright bicolor, “Klehm’s Bechtel”- dark pink fragrant full double, “Prairie Rose” - light pink semi double, “Prince Georges”- full double pink dwarf. Had to spray for CAR around here, not a big deal.
Here’s an interesting article from last year I just ran across about trialing flowering crabs in Ohio and how climate change is moving the growing area north out of the mid Atlantic due to diseases.

Yep, I get so tired of hearing that every day…a handfull of billionaires controlling the majority of the media manage to take a program on tv or a homepage on the computer of a major daily paper…and manage, amazingly, to insert the same lines into half or more of every story they decide to let air or go to press.
The current meetings in AbuDhabi are making the percentage of such articles even higher today than already the case.
You’d think one story per issue might be enough? Finding climate in about every article or program is like having an itch and both arms tied so you can’t scratch!
A big reason I got rid of a TV altogether in my place about 5 years ago.
Enough already.
