The crabapple is a wonderful multi-purpose tree. Lovely in the landscape, most of our varieties provide tasty tart apples that are prized for making jelly. Dolgo and Evereste will enhance cider with their bittersharp qualities.
Be prepared for heavy crops of 1 1/2-inch oval fruit with a sweet flavor. Use the crisp, juicy white fleshed fruit for canning, making jelly or just popping in your mouth.
The fruit is a bright orange-red. It ripens in mid-August. Compact and great as a child's tree, it produces an abundance of red flower buds that open to a showy white.
The tree is highly scab resistant. Its mid-season bloom makes it an excellent pollinizer for all other apple varieties. A natural dwarf, it grows to 10' tall.
Enjoy this fantastic edible ornamental throughout the year. Each spring, this highly disease-resistant tree from France is covered from base to top with fragrant, beautiful long lasting white flowers. Every summer, the tree is a spectacle in red, covered with thousands of round tart fruit about an inch in diameter.
Use the fruit to make jelly, pickled apples or add with other apples to make a wonderful cider. The tree grows to 10 feet tall. The fruit hangs on the branches until mid winter, so the birds can eat what you don't.
Of the many varieties of disease-resistant crabapples, Evereste was the most resistant, easiest to care for and most beautiful.
Raintree has made an agreement with the INRA breeding program in Angers, France. Royalties for the registered varieties go to support Western Wasington Fruit Research.
This small, highly scab-resistant, easy-to-grow tree is covered with white blossoms late each spring. Then from summer through fall, small, bright yellow apples adorn the tree.
The leaves resemble those on an old oak tree, which is both very attractive and great for confusing your friends who think they know about plants. Golden Raindrops pollinates late blooming apples well.
