I had a prairie fire crabapple tree several years ago that ultimately died from Deer rub damage. While I had it a Seedling emerged in my garden , it has finally grown large enough to produce flowers and is very similar, so I assume Prairie Fire is a parent. This sapling is still in a pot and will need to get planted soon. I have a lilac tree in my front yard which has been failing. I'm also sick of all this suckering. Wondering if you think this would be a good spot for this seedling crabapple? We obviously can't know the characteristics as far as size at maturity. What do you think? The base of the Lilac is 9 feet from the driveway. Notice the lines above this location.
