Hi, I have a collection tree of crabapples in the front lawn. Some
branches with bronze leaves and red flowers (Baskatong) and branches with green
leaves and white flowers (Alexis). I grafted it myself using an Antonovka seedling for rootstock (non
dwarfing). Baskatong; Purple leaves that
change to bronze with maturity. Buds dark purplish-red open light
purple red with white claw, 1 3/4” dia. Dark
purplish-red 1” fruit. Very disease resistant Alexis; An early crabapple of Russian origin, similar to Dolgo although
a little earlier. Extreme winter hardiness, small dark red
crabapples in August for preserves. An early bloomer useful for
pollinating the earliest blooming apples or other crabs. Zone 3 It will be a fruiting conversation piece if nothing else. Later, Tom |
