Lovely Crab Apples. Canberra has lots of them. Pale pink one with red buds and white flowers, is Malus floribunda. One of my favourites. I still have one growing here in Robbo. . The darker pink forms are a range of hybrids - Malus x eleyi will lead you to the group. Lots of variation amongst them. Regards Denis
Thanks for that info Denis! I love the pale pink with red buds one, was wondering what exactly it is and whether I could squeeze one in here somewhere, probably not.
