Wild Crabapples
The wild crabapple trees are grown from seed derived from Dolgo, Kerr, Road Kill™, PrimeTime, October Crab™ Winter Crabarina™, Callaway, and Grams Gift™ crabapples. These are not grafted trees. Therefore, each tree will be unique and a one-of-a-kind new crabapple variety. If you click on the pictures, you will see many variations of fruit coming from dolgo seedlings and others. These trees will produce crabapples edible to grouse, turkeys, and, most importantly, the white-tailed deer. Each tree has many variations, including fruit size, drop times, taste, and disease resistance. For a short video on our Wild Crabapples, Click Here. These will grow a 20'+ tall tree and do well in just about any soil type and condition. Planting wild crabapple trees is an excellent choice for feathered field edges or if you have a vacant field and want to provide a food source falling from above. Create a crabapple thicket when spacing them 10' to 15'. These are great for many habitat improvements and creating a food source for all wildlife. These are sold in bundles of 10 in 1-2' and singles in 2-3', or you can select 3' - 4'. They will have the terminal bud attached and are well-rooted. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 4 - 8. Note: You will see variations from the original trees, but variations that make significant habitat improvements! The pictures show the different variations of fruit grown from Dolgo and others. These can be grown in tree tubes, and magnifying a tree of this vigor in mass plantings allows for something exceptional if you're looking for that crabapple thicket with fruit constantly dropping.Spring Shipping Only/ Select Your Shipping Date at CheckoutThis grafted crabapple produces a 1 ¾” and has a flesh that remains very palatable at a time when food supplies are low. Winter Crabarina™ will offer amazing attraction whether you’re looking to do a little late season hunting or just help your deer herd through the tough winter months. This prolific tree has excellent resistance to common apple tree diseases, is very productive, and a very late dropping crabapple with very heavy fruit loads. In a no spray situation I have seen excellent resistance or immunity to apple scab, cedar apple rust, fireblight and powdery mildew. The first picture is from December 5th, the second from January 21st, and the third one of the apple is from mid-February. As you can see, the flesh is still very intact even after many freeze/thaw cycles! This tree is very productive, fruits profusely on 1-year old wood, very vigorous and early producing.
