This is a beautiful plant with many virtues. The showy fruit dropping on cars that are parked out front and the thorns and rust and insect problems would give me pause. You might check with the local nursery or arboretum to see what they think about it before you plant. It does have a lot to recommend it. Remember one of my favorite trees was the flowering crabapple by the back water spigot that had showy fruit. Pop hated the mess and finally cut the tree down one day while I was at work.
