Winter Crabarina™ Crabapple

This 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. For a video to see what Winter Crabarina™ looked like the following year after these pictures click here. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8

This crabapple will be dropping free from the tree from October through winter, and will even keep a few apples on into March. The Buckman Crab produced heavily following a winter that had a low of - 41 degrees. This late dropping crabapple as shown good resistance to apple scab, powdery mildew, fireblight and especially cedar apple rust in a no spray situation. Mature height will be 20'+.

Morris Burton Persimmon

A grafted Female persimmon that is self-fruitful(we have no male trees) and early producing. Morris Burton bears heavy crops of persimmons annually that very slowly drop, beginning very late in central Pennsylvania. The tree is much more suited for the south if you're looking for something that falls in November, as it just wants to persist on the tree up here. This persimmon fully ripens on the trees in central Pennsylvania but sheds very little fruit and holds most of it throughout the winter. This would be an excellent choice if you're looking for persimmons falling late in the year in the Deep South. Morris Burton produces 1 1/2" - 2" persimmons with an okay flavor here, in my opinion, but I'm sure they would be better further south (the deer here suck them down). This tree is vigorous, early producing, and typically produces in the 3rd year. I added some pictures below to show you what I see from the deer and the tree in PA. The Mature height is 40'-60'. Plant hardiness zones 5-9.

Deer Magnet Persimmon

This grafted female is self fruitful and from Jerry Lehman’s collection that originated in Central Indiana. It was chosen for its ability to hold the persimmons on the tree longer. Deer Magnet typically does not begin dropping until around December 1st, as the freezing weather of winter moves in. It’s sweet 1 ½” persimmons that ripens on the tree and has a very sweet taste as they hit the ground in November and continue into December here in the North East. This very late dropping persimmons are great for some late season hunting and will begin producing in as little as 3 years. Mature height 60' to 80'. Plant Hardiness zone hardiness zones 5-9.

#5 Crabapple

 

This grafted crabapple bears quarter-sized+ crabapples annually that fall free from the tree from October through December, with many persisting into January in the north. #5 Crabapple is a tree where deer are beating paths down to get apples in late November, December, and January here in Pennsylvania as colder temperatures come. This crabapple is highly resistant or immune to cedar apple rust, fireblight, scab, and powdery mildew.

The vigor of this tree is extreme, as it compounds growth very fast. #5 Crabapple is exceptional in many ways, from growth to production to disease resistance. It's a wildlife tree and one that does its job very well.

Therefore, I would encourage you to plant this tree even in the Deep South if you want a bulletproof tree-dropping crabapple in November and December. The mature height of #5 crabapple is 20'+ and suitable for plant hardiness zones 5-9.

Keener Seedling

This grafted tree produces a standard size apple. Keener Seedling also know as (Rusty Coat) , originated in Lincoln County, NC. around 1880. Keener Seedling has proven to be an exceptional apple for the North, growing well into Zone 4b.
The apple is medium in size, sweet and firm. This grafted tree is productive, vigorous and very disease resistant. In a no spray situation I have seen good resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, powdering mildew and fireblight. It ripens extremely late and can hold on to the tree into December. Keener Seedling has an early bloom with a late ripening period typically hold and drops in late October/December. The great Disease resistance this tree has makes for an excellent tree when planting for wildlife. Keener Seedling will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 4b-7.

Description

Late Season Stand Package

The Late Season Stand Package is designed for hunters who want to keep deer on their property after food sources have disappeared. Fruit is time-released and can’t just be eaten to the ground, leaving nothing like a food plot. Planting the right trees falling at this time can put deer at a specific location at a specific time.

We carefully select apple, pear, and persimmon varieties that continue to hold and drop fruit through winter. As a result, your property offers a dependable food source during the final weeks of the hunting season. Here in Pennsylvania, that would be our traditional muzzleloader season in January.

Why This Late Season Wildlife Tree Package Works

Late-season fruit provides deer with valuable energy when temperatures fall, and food becomes scarce. These hardy trees produce reliable crops every year and grow well in many climates. Once established, they need very little maintenance while providing fruit for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife for decades.

Plant these trees near bedding areas, travel corridors, food plots, or stand locations to encourage consistent deer movement. Their extended fruit drop helps keep wildlife on your property while improving habitat for years to come.

Package Benefits

  • Apple, pear, and persimmon varieties selected for late fruit drop
  • Provides food through winter
  • Reliable fruit production every year
  • Hardy, easy-to-grow trees
  • Ideal for hunting properties and wildlife orchards
  • Creates a dependable winter food source
  • Improves wildlife habitat for years to come

Whether you’re planting your first wildlife orchard or expanding an existing one, this package offers lasting value. Fruit remains available after many other food sources disappear, helping keep deer active throughout the late hunting season.
