This Crabapple is one of the best we've observed. The fruit is 1 1/2 in size, green in color and falls from September to January - trickling off fruit during the hunting season. This is one of the most vigorous growing crabapple trees we've observed. Fruit production is heavy and early - we had fruit on 2 year old trees. This tree is in the "sweet crab" type. The tree is susceptible to yellow spots on the leaves though they have no effect on the overall health or growth of the tree. This problem is related moisture and air circulation which should be no problem when trees are planted at normal spacing. The Gooding Crabapple will be a great additional to your wildlife orchard.
