Crab apples are favoured for their attractive appearance - ladened with bright coloured small fruit. Their are great for eating, cooking and juicing.

Please see our out of stocks page for varieties that are sold out this season.

HUONVILLE CRAB $24 each (inc. GST) Grown on dwarfing (M26) rootstock. This is probably a hybrid between a crab and a cultivated apple. We found this huge old tree growing in Huonville (Tasmania), weighed down each year by massive crops of large deep purple crabs which have deep red flesh right to the core - quite amazing! Great to eat (especially kids), great cooked and make a very acceptable cider. A customer wrote: "One of our favourite trees is the Huonville Crab. It's a most attractive tree in our flower garden and as you say, the fruit is great to eat - the red flesh surprises everyone who bites into these little purple wonders!"

RANELAGH CRAB $24 each (inc. GST) Grown on semi-dwarfing (M106) rootstock. This is a distinctive, extremely late ripening crab discovered by us. The bantam egg sized crabs deep red in colour literally weigh down the branches with the weight of fruit and look great well after the trees have lost their leaves. Their fruits are highly acid but finally become quite tasty in late August. Children seem to really go for them.

WYCHWOOD CRAB $24 each (inc. GST) Grown on semi-dwarfing (M106) rootstock. A crab apple originating in the UK. Grows to a largish tree and bears ridiculously heavy crops of acid but quite acceptably edible crabs. Longish in shape and striped orange when ripe. This is the one for crab apple jelly.
