CRABAPPLES

A beautiful multi-purpose tree. Lovely in the landscape, all our varieties, except Floribunda,  provide tasty tart apple that are prized for making jelly. Dolgo and Evereste will enhance cider with their bittersharp quality. Commercial orchardists often use crabapple trees for pollenizers because of their compact size and their profuse blossoming. Researchers have found that white flowered varieties are most attractive to bees. Dolgo is used as a great early season pollenizer and Evereste is an excellent mid season pollenizer  for other apple trees. Centennial is a natural dwarf. What makes an apple a crab in not its personality but its smaller size fruit.
