Crabapple Trees

A crabapple tree makes a wonderful addition to any landscape, regardless of size, soil condition, or weather. Our self-pollinating varieties are ideal for growers with small gardens or growing spaces that don’t have room to plant a second variety for pollination. This means that a single tree can produce fruit on its own, making it much more convenient for those with limited space. For those with home orchards or larger growing areas, crabapple trees can serve as excellent pollinators for other apple varieties. Crabapple trees are also very hardy — they can adapt to many different kinds of soil and thrive in a wide range of regions and climates. Stark Bro’s offers crabapple trees suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9.

Are Crabapples Edible?
Yes, crabapples are edible! The edible varieties are vigorous growers that will produce bushels of small, surprisingly flavorful crabapples. While some varieties are best enjoyed fresh, others may have a tart taste that makes them ideal for cooking or preserving. You can also use crabapples for canning, pickling, or making tasty jams and preserves. These versatile fruits are perfect for adding flavor to a variety of recipes, and preparing them is quite simple for even beginner cooks.
