Crab apple trees

Crab apples trees produce abundant blossom over a long period. As a result they are often planted for their ornamental value or as pollinators. The fruit is small and usually very sharp. Crab apples produce excellent jelly because of their acidity and high pectin content. Click here for a guide to choosing apple trees.
