Dolgo is a great crab for jelly, sauce, butter, etc. It contains a lot of acidity, sugar and flavor. It is however a bit too acidic for juice and cider when added in too large proportion. In my opinion, no home orchard should be without some Dolgo. It is extremely hardy and very easy to grow.

I have heard that crab apples really add flavor to apple cider if used in small amounts. I'm thinking of planting a crab apple tree for that reason. Has anybody added crab apples to applesauce to add zest? Or anything else like pie? Jerry in southern Indiana
