[MAIPC] Crab Apples Native Vx. Invasive

[Greenberg, Patricia]

Hi,



Can anyone on this email group help respond to these questions:

How do we best distinguish the American native crabapples from Asian ones? According to Flora of Virginia, it looks like a main character is thorn-like branches coming off of the American ones. Is there a better "clincher" that you know of?

Thank you,
