    Ive got a couple of crab apples too and they both do this as well. I dont know why they do it but it hasnt done them any harm so far so fingers crossed it isnt a big prob. I will be interested to hear why they do it if anyone knows though.

    I dont know why they do this late flowering sometimes but I've got a theory it might have something to do with drought, followed by a wet spell later on.
    The tree goes more or less dormant in the dry, and then starts to grow again in the wet.
