If you love the beautiful flowers of Crab apple and Cherry trees, but don’t want to deal with all the fruit that falls and makes a mess on your yard there is another option for you.  You can get fruitless trees that still flower.  This means that you can enjoy the beauty of the trees without the mess.  (However, if you are craving a homemade cherry cobbler right now though, a cherry tree that does produce fruit in your front yard would be overflowing with cherries for you to pick!)
