CRABAPPLES
In the past these trees have been thought of by many as a nuisance. We have seen a new movement of people interested in planting crabapples again. Great for making jellies, jams, and fresh eating. Crabapple trees tend to be very productive. These trees are also a great wildlife tree. Great for creating a backyard food forest.
