Chestnut Crabapple on G890 Rootstock – semi-dwarf Bareroot

Description

This grafted Chestnut crabapple tree produces a 2’’ apple that is very good for fresh eating, ripens in early September, with a few apples persisting on the tree into October. This tree is a favorite for eating out of hand to many that have planted it. Chestnut crabapple trees have excellent disease resistance to common apple tree diseases. In a no spray situation I have seen great resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, powdery mildew and fireblight. This tree is annually productive with heavy crops and is very cold hardy down to Zone 4. Chestnut Crab will reach a mature height of 10′-12′ on the G890 Rootstock. Plant Hardiness zones 4 – 8.

The Chestnut Crabapple is a standout among crabapple varieties, producing  fruits with a sweet, nutty flavor that’s often compared to fresh-pressed apple cider. A favorite for both people and wildlife, this crabapple combines flavor, nutrition, and ornamental value all in one tree.

Whether you’re managing a food plot, enhancing an orchard, or just want a deer-drawing powerhouse, the Chestnut Crab delivers.
