'Whitney' Crabapple Trees

The Whitney crabapple tree, in semi-dwarf size, is a small, ornamental fruit tree known for its attractive flowers, manageable size, and flavourful fruit. It grows to 12-15 feet tall, making it ideal for smaller landscapes. In spring, it produces showy white to pink blossoms that attract pollinators, adding beauty to gardens. By late summer, it yields golf ball-sized yellow crabapples with a red blush, which are excellent for fresh eating, pickling, and making cider.

This tree is very cold hardy, disease-resistant and low-maintenance, making it a great choice for home gardeners looking for both aesthetic and practical benefits. Whitney crabapples also serve as a great pollinator for other apple varieties.
