Plant Description
The fruit hangs well into the season and is a great attractant for whitetails. This is a must have for anyone growing large fruiting crabapples for wildlife, and it serves as a great pollinator for other apple trees. We add the juice from these crabapples to our cider in the fall, and it’s always a big hit with our friends and family. Chestnut Crab just might be the secret ingredient to many blue ribbons given at state fairs for the best cider!
