$39.50 In StockRanelagh Crab Ripens: June - August
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.
