Commonly Asked Questions

Will my Crabapple standards remain the same size?

Crab apple standards have been grafted so that the “stem” of the plant will remain the same size, whilst the “Ball” of the plant will continue to grow. Graft heights vary between 1.2-1.8 meters; for your preferred graft height, please talk to our friendly team.

 

When do Crabapples flower?

Crabapple flowers appear in late spring. Clusters of double white / pink-hued flowers create a showstopping specimen tree.

 

Is the fruit from a Crabapple edible?

Yes, Crabapple fruit is edible, although it is more sour than a regular apple. We do not recommend eating the core or the seeds of the fruit.
