WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSS A CRABAPPLE WITH AN OAK? You get a photo like the one above (if not an actual intergeneric hybrid tree). This wind-borne balancing act didn’t register at first when I spied it the other day, but then I whipped my head back around and had a good smile, and a snapshot. What would you call such a freakish genetic combination of crabapple (Malus) and oak (Quercus) if it did actually exist? A croak?

Marcus? (MAlus and QueRCUS)
@Michelle: Perfect! Marcus it is.
I love how the acorn hats stay on sometimes after the acorn nut falls. It’s cold here in Maryland so I know it has to be cold at your gardening haven. It’s hard to imagine the strength of the mighty oak contained int that tiny acorn.

I don’t know, but would the fruit be crabcorns?
A good laugh at the end of my work week. Thanks!
ROFL! You had me going for a while!
Querple? It leaves me Querplexed!
Welcome, Janis, and you ain’t kidding! I swear I did a double take when I saw it. Hilarious. Hope to see you again soon.
