Heatherwood Crabapple Grove
Heatherwood’s crabapple grove consists of a large drift of daffodils, multiple flowering viburnums, other woody shrubs and seven glorious crabapples. Spring starts with a flowing sea of daffodils. As they fade, the first crabapples start to bloom. Each of the crabapple species bloom at slightly different times. This gives us about a four week flow of colorful blooms. As the first crabapples start to fade, the viburnums start breaking out in full bloom. Over all, the crabapple grove gives us a constant change of blooming glory over the first two months of spring. In fall, a whole new series of interest is presented from fruit to changing fall leaf color.
