Robinson Crabapple at Long Hill

Yesterday we went for a late afternoon walk at Long Hill, a former estate and gardens* which is now open to the public. We have had some warm days followed by a long stretch of cool weather, so everything seems to be in bloom at once.  I liked the look of this gorgeous deep pink tree with the house in the background. (This building was once the house at the center of the estate, but now it holds the offices of the Trustees of the Reservation.) I know this is a Robinson Crabapple because this tree has an identifying tag, like many of the trees at Long Hill.

*Also known as Sedgwick Gardens
