Carleton Place Nursery Flowering Crab Collection 2006

Our climate does not allow us the rich variety of flowering trees that warmer areas enjoy.For this reason, the hardy flowering crabs are of particular importance to our landscape. We have tried to take advantage of the great variety of form, colour and fruit colour offered by this genus in building our 2006 collection. We have also tried to provide the best varieties in terms of disease resistance.
