About Chestnut Crab

Every September, do you look forward to buying these tasty 2" crabs from the farmers market? Somewhat ugly-looking red and yellow apples are not at all sour, but have a sweet-tart flavor. Crunchy and fun to eat. Introduced by the U of M in 1949. Very productive and an excellent pollenizer. Standard rootstock.

The tree actually needs our cold winters for its white flowers to bloom their best in early May

About Apple

Beautiful, fragrant spring flowers and fall fruit. Apples require another variety for pollenizing, but apple or crab­apple trees are usually nearby in most urban areas.
