Centennial Crabapple / Semi-dwarf

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.
