Plant Description
Seed from this crab was collected from a stand of perfect 10-year-old crabs that produce Very heavy annual crops. Crab Apple appears to be a type of candied Crab. Ripens early and drops about half of its fruit by mid October, early for a crab. Plant with Morse Red Crab for early and late season food availability. I would plant this around food plots, property lines and under power lines! Good Pollinator for apple trees.
