this is totally irrelevant but It looks like the unknown growing in my front yard which I collected from a river bed, the apples are quite large and look a lot like pink lady's but inedible sour things, flowers twice a year with same as in your photo

eta typos

Malus Floribunda - Japanese Crabapple - .........Very common and often used in streetscapes

Thanks Jester. I think it's close but Malus Floribunda seems to have single flowers and this has double flowers.

Hmmm, I'll have to check that but thanks Kvan, definitely could be an oversight on my part.....perhaps a cultivar??

You may be right this time. It's could be a cultivar of Malus floribunda - the Hillieri. However, I'm not 100% sure.

I found this service on the net which guarantees to provide tree ID with full cultural notes but it would charge 33 bucks

Ausbonsai is the best!!!

It looks like my Bechtel's crabapple .. tho i have always doubted the label it carried as the blooms dont look like those I can find for it online.
