Apple Blossoms at Oxwich Dunes

It was a dull misty morning on Gower when I spotted a big splash of colour in the dunes at Oxwich Bay. Pink apple blossoms were covering several small trees growing on the slopes of tall fixed dunes. At first I thought the trees had resulted from visitors’ discarded apple cores but on closer inspection I think they could be Wild Crab (Malus sylvestris). Beautiful and unexpected whatever their origin. I will have to return later in the year to look at the fruits to check the ID.
