I've been seeing crab apple trees everywhere, and they sure are pretty. I wondered if they are useful for much of anything, so I looked it up and found that crab apples can actually be eaten, if you go for things that are pretty sour and you avoid their seeds and core. But more than that, they help to pollinate and cross-pollinate other types of apple trees. Just an interesting little fact about a beautiful tree.
