    I would like to plant the same crabapple in my new home. I'm thinking it's Donald Wyman, but can someone confirm this? It's obviously white flowers, and the fruit is small and red. The feature that I like is it's multi-trunk.

    I cannot ID the second plant. It's not doing too well - some leaves are starting to become yellow. The other one (not pictured) looks pretty pathetic...

    Thanks!
    Katie

    The second one is a Rhododendron. Truthfully, if the other one looks worse then this one I is likely easiest just to pull it out and plant a younger one. It would take years to prune it so that it looks as good as it could.

    Cut branch of crab while still in bloom and take to garden center(s) to see if they have same kind. This will at least match the flowers, since there are hundreds of kinds, many derived from same parental species matching flowers not a guarantee of getting same exact variety. But you could at least check 'Donald Wyman' theory by holding flowers up to that one (if you can find it around) and seeing if everything is the same.
