Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve

of Medford Leas

April 23, 2021 – Centurion Crabapples

Visions of rosy colored pink blooms cover the Centurion Crabapple trees that are along the perimeter of the Medford Campus Community Building Parking Lot. These cold hardy flower buds burst open in early spring to masses of rose-red blossoms that mature to cherry red fruit in fall. The foliage then emerges in a reddish green color and matures to a bronze-green.
