MY SMOKEY KITTEN CAT WITH AN APPLE BLOSSOM FLOWERS CROWN...FOR THE EBSQ STATE FLOWERS SHOW. It is the official flower of Arkansas. Because of the plentiful blossoms and small sized fruit, crab apples are popular for use in bonsai culture. Because the trees are small due to the requirements of the hobby, but still show the abundant fruit bearing of full sized crab apples, it is important to thin out fruit so that trees do not exhaust themselves. Apple wood "makes a wonderfully luxurious firewood with a lovely scent, and smoke from an apple wood fire gives a most excellent flavour to smoked foods as well. PAINTED WITH ACRYLICS, COLORED PENCILS & PASTELS, ON ARTAGAIN BLACK PAPER.
