The Wildlife Orchard Package

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.

This Grafted crabapple is a prolific tree that bears heavily and annually. The Road Kill Crab™ is an exceptional tree. It is disease resistant, producing heavily on one-year-old wood, making for a tree with weeping branches loaded with crabapples. These 1'' to 1 1/2" crabapples are spicy tart and attractive to the whitetail deer. Roadkill crab™ has extreme vigor and grows exceptionally fast. The original Road Kill crab™ tree has claimed a lot of deer as it hangs over the roadside. Road kill deer always lie on the Road beneath the original Road Kill Crab™ tree. This tree earned its name and has proven exceptional when looking to feed or attract deer.

The crabapples from this tree start to shed a few in early October and continue well into December. Like many Crabapples, some years Road Kill Crab™ likes to persist and may need some good wind to pour crabs to the ground. The Road Kill Crab™ is very precocious and generally bears fruit the same year as planting. This tree is self-fertile and has extreme vigor among the cultivars grown here. In a no-spray situation, I have seen excellent resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, powdery mildew, and fireblight or immunity. The mature height of Road Kill Crab™ is 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zone 4b-8.

Cobbler Crab™ is a new cultivar. This grafted tree produces an applecrab over 2'' in diameter annually and heavily. The fruit is crisp and sweet, with a touch of tartness that mellows with time in storage or on the ground. Cobbler Crab™ keeps very well and may belong in your personal orchard as much as it does in your wildlife orchard. The vigor of Cobbler Crab™ is exceptional!

The fruit begins dropping in October, continuing into December, and, in some years, is still being found holding and dropping 20% into January. While being surrounded by 1,000's of other wild apple trees, Cobbler Crab™ has shown resistance to Apple Scab, cedar apple rust, Fireblight, and Powdery Mildew, while other apple trees in the area are showing or have shown signs of these diseases here in the northeast. The tree originates from North Western Pennsylvania in hardiness zone 5a, but has experienced winter lows of -24 in its life, equivalent to those experienced in plant hardiness zone 4. Making this tree suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b - 7.
Maturity height 20'+.

Ed's Crazy Crab™ is a grafted apple crab that earns its name because, as shown in this picture, it pounds out the fruit. Ed's Crazy Crab is prolific and sets fruit annually, which falls throughout the fall. The tree is red-leaved, with pink blossoms and red flesh, producing a golf ball-sized fruit that drops from October into the new year. The fruit is complex and one for you cider guys, and also one my deer gobble down. Ed's Crazy Crab has demonstrated disease resistance against all major apple tree diseases from north to south in a no-spray situation.

The original tree stands approximately 35 feet tall and resides in Plant Hardiness Zone 4b and the border of 4a. This tree begins dropping its fruits in late October, peaks during my favorite time in November, and retains some fruits that drop throughout December here in central Pa in zones 5b/6a. The vigor is almost too extreme in this tree, as it invests a lot of energy in growth and begins to fruit heavily around age 4. The original tree resides in plant hardiness zone 4b, making it very hardy from zones 4-7. You will have a mature height of 20'+

Some trees can produce fruit each year as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow, and Turning Point™ is just one of those trees. This grafted apple crab produces heavy crops of giant crabs to 2"+ sweet apples annually that hold well to the tree and drop from Mid-October well on through winter. A good portion of this fruit will fall during Late October and into November for most of the country's northern half. If you're like me, you want your property to peak in November. I like that the Turning Point™ tree ripens unevenly and gives me a substantial drop during a pivotal point in buck movement in November here in the NorthEast. Turning point™ apple is a Late-season apple by the sheer fact that it produces so much that the drop continues well into winter. This apple tree shows strong resistance to C.A.R, Apple Scab, powdery mildew, and fireblight here in the Northeast.

Turning Point™ is a tree that does not ripen at the same time. A huge bonus! This tree will have deer looking for its sweet-tasting fruit in October as apples start falling. That dependable attraction will continue well into the winter months. Turning point™ is a tree that has already proven fantastic here in the north. I believe that this tree will prove itself to possibly be one of the best late-season apple trees to hit the south that has ever come along. I could write on and on about this tree, but it's easier for me to show you a video. Click Here to see the video.

Turning Point™ has readily seen temperatures of  -35 degrees, making it well suited for Northern Climates  With all of its great qualities, Turning Point™ is an essential Mid and late-season apple tree for providing a substantial food source for all wildlife, especially deer, even into the winter months  Turning point™ apple will have a mature height of 20'+ Suitable for plant hardiness zones 4-7

HappyValley™ crabapple is a tree that produces more fruit than possibly any other crabapple in the world. This overproductive crabapple produces more fruit than leaves, yet with its extreme vigor, it still manages to put on a significant amount of vegetative growth while carrying a heavy fruit load. HappyValley™ Crabapple fruits profusely on one-year-old wood, producing a quarter-sized crabapple annually that tends to persist on the tree, slowly dropping from late October through winter. This makes it a perfect tree to feed not only deer but many forms of wildlife, including turkeys and grouse. The trees here in Pennsylvania locations have shown to be very clean and free of disease in a no-spray situation. This crabapple originated from Happy Valley in State College and has survived temperatures as low as -20, making it suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-8. HappyValley™ will reach a mature height of 25'+.

CrimsonRub™ Crabapple produces an impressive number of quarter-sized crab apples annually, attracting considerable attention from local wildlife. I know this tree personally, and every deer heading toward the food plot hits this tree first. You've got to remember acorns on an oak tree are quarter-sized or smaller, and the deer take them down, and they do even more so when it's a good soft mast hitting the ground during the fall. The tree is clean, with no signs of disease, and exhibits high fruit production in a no-spray situation here in Pennsylvania. This crabapple tree begins to drop its fruit in mid-to-late October and continues through mid-November, with a small amount persisting into December. When I say a small amount persisting into December, that may be a thousand or two crabs hitting the ground, as I have never gone through and counted them. People look for late-dropping oaks and chestnuts, missing the opportunity for something even better, such as a soft-masted tree like CrimsonRub™ Crabapple. This crabapple has very high vigor and produces fruit on 1-year-old wood. CrimsonRub crabapple will reach a mature height of 20 feet or more. The original tree has withstood ambient temperatures as low as -20 degrees, making it suitable for plant Hardiness Zones 4b-8.

This grafted tree produces a 1 1/2'' crabapple that begins bearing a lot of fruit at a very young age. This tree will typically begin bearing fruit the same year you plant it. October Crab™ has a very sweet taste, good disease resistance. In a no spray situation I have seen no fireblight, powdery mildew or cedar apple rust. I have seen some apple scab on the leaves but the fruit remains pretty clean in a no spray situation.  It drops heavy crop loads at a heavy rate through the month of October and into November making this tree very desirable for bow seasons. The original October crab™ crabapple tree always has more deer sign under it compared to the many other wild apple trees in the same area.

October Crab™ is a deer’s favorite! This picture was taken October 6th, at this time the tree was dropping just a very few apples in Central Pensylvania. You can see the fruit is near perfect without ever being sprayed. This is one of those trees that if you only planted one you will wish you had 10 in time. This crabapple is yet another tree that may not be immune to insect pest that commonly remove a lot apples prematurely but definitely shows strong signs of resistance, for video click here. October Crab™ crabapple will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 5-8

A grafted, fast-growing tree, self-fertile with good disease resistance, produces abundant annual crops of 1 ¾" crabapples at a very young age. The fruits are good for eating out of hand and for the deer. It is a highly vigorous tree and produces fruit annually. In a no-spray situation, I have observed excellent resistance to cedar apple rust, fire blight, and powdery mildew. I have observed apple scab developing on leaves in non-spray situations, particularly in years of excessive rainfall, and when the area is not mowed to break the cycle. I have the trees growing in a mowed area with no spray, and I have never seen any scab. The tree still produces bucket loads of fruit even in a no-spray, no-mow situation. The tree is still one of my favorites and has been for many years. Crabs are King!

Prime Time Crab will begin dropping in the last weeks of October and continue through November and December here in central Pennsylvania. This crabapple is also dropping a lot of fruit into December here in Pennsylvania, and I wouldn't have a fruit orchard without this tree in it. It doesn't take much time to look at my pictures of this tree, and you can see why I would not have an orchard with a few Prime Time crabs growing in it. For a video of a young Prime Time Crab, CLICK HERE. The tree is highly productive and provides a maximum draw at just the perfect time. This tree will reach a mature height of 20 feet or more. Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8

This grafted pear tree will grow very tall with long weeping branches full of large, sweet European-style pears. They begin dropping in very late October and continue in through November into early December. The Sweet Advent™ pear tree produces heavily and annually with a strong resistance to fireblight and many pear diseases.  This tree has extreme vigor and is very precocious producing a lot of fruit at an early age, Sweet Advent is tip bearing as well as spur bearing (this tree is over bearing of fruit please remove fruit from young trees and keep the central leader free of fruit). Sweet Advent™ pear is the best pear tree I have ever grown for wildlife.

The fruit of this pear tree is also is very edible to humans as well as deer. The Sweet Advent pear™ tastes great when picked off the tree in early November; as colder weather moves in, the sugar content in this pear goes extremely high (sugar content is almost too high for human consumption as freezing and thawing takes place). This process takes place in early to mid-November and will make this tree irresistible to all wildlife and be a favorite to my local deer. Sweet Advent™ pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b -8. For a video of Sweet Advent pear™ click here.

A grafted pear that begins to mature in October will ripen unevenly, turn yellow with a surprisingly sweet taste, and begin dropping free from the tree a few at a time in early to mid-October and will continue to drop into the first weeks of November here in the NorthEast. This Kieffer pear has extreme vigor and is very productive from an early age. The cultivar itself is too productive if planted in soil with adequate nutrients. It is overbearing with fruit. You will need to remove some fruit from this tree so it doesn't break branches. The disease resistance I have seen from this tree is at the top in a no-spray situation. The tree is annually productive and makes incredible pollination for Asian pears and European-style pears. Kieffer Pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 4b-8

A grafted female that is self fruitful, produces 1” Persimmons annually. The fruit ripens on the tree will become very sweet, begin falling free from the tree in mid September and will continue with just a slow steady drop lasting into winter . Full Draw™ has survived -30° F winter lows at a very young age, this is a very cold hardy persimmon tree. The combination of cold hardiness, early ripening in Pennsylvania with having a shorter growing season, and with the extended drop time makes the Full Draw™ persimmons one of best, if not the best persimmons tree available today when growing persimmons for the whitetail deer  up out of the persimmons native range. That said, this persimmon has a very extended drop in the south and is one of the best persimmons for planting in the south as well.  Mature height will be 60' to 80'. Plant hardiness zones 5-9

A Grafted female that is self-fruitful. Developed by the late Elwyn Meader in New Hampshire. Meader Persimmons is widely grown in colder climates Because of it being very cold, hardy to -30° F. This tree is heavy bearing with sweet fruit that ripens in early October, continues to drop into November, and has some fruit persisting on the tree into winter in the NorthEast. Meader will produce fruit annually, making this persimmon an excellent choice as it fully ripens here in central Pennsylvania and drops free from the tree for an extended time. The fruit is sweet and a nice sized at 2''. This is one of my favorites as I like to bow hunt in PA, and this tree drops slowly through our bow season, running from early October into late November. Mature height 40'-60'. Plant hardiness zones 5-9.

A grafted female persimmon that is self-fruitful, producing 1 1/2' + Persimmon annually. The original tree resides in northwestern NY and is around 30 years old. The fruit fully ripens on the tree, even though it is exceptionally north of the persimmon's native home range. Tin Cup persimmons fall free from the tree on October 1st and continue into mid-November. During this time, the fruit is very sweet and, of course, is devoured by all wildlife and deer alike. As with most 90-chromosome persimmons, Tin Cup has withstood winter lows of -30°F at a very young age. This fact, accompanied by its ability to ripen early in the extreme north, enables this tree to extend its range much farther north than its original location in northwestern NY and fully ripen. This tree is very suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-9. The vigor is exceptional on this tree, and it may be the fastest-growing 90 chromosomes persimmons I have ever seen when grafted onto 90 chromosomes roots. Tin Cup's mature height will be 60'+

I like the crisp, juicy apple flavor myself to eat out of hand, and the deer do too. Enterprise apple is a fast-growing tree with excellent disease resistance, making this a great apple tree to plant for deer. I would describe the Enterprise apple as a tree you don't plant one of you plant ten, but I like to hunt those first few weeks of November. This tree will have a mature height of 20'+  Plant Hardiness zones 4b-8.
