Dolgo Crabapple (Bundle of 2)
Dolgo Crabapple (Bundle of 2)
Producing massive amounts of white flowers every Spring that will then turn to 1-inch crimson red crabapples, Dolgo is a must for many reasons. Whether it’s eating the good tasting crabapples (high acidity which I like), used for processing, or as a pollenizer or rootstock on which to top graft, Dolgo is a must for many reasons in the orchard. And did I mention its resistant to scab, fireblight, and cold hardy to zone 2. When some of our rootstocks such as some in the Geneva or Emla series had suffered from some frost damage at our nursery from the early fall frost (-10F) on 10/26/20, Dolgo didn’t bat an eye. Although I’ve never used Dolgo for cider, I have used one of its descendants, Kerr apple crab (which is crossed with Haralson) and that made for I think the best tasting cider I’ve ever had. Some sources say makes great jelly and I’d bet Dolgo cider aint too shabby, especially when blended with something sweet like Macoun or Honeycrisp. Zone 2 hardy.
These come in Bundles of 2 and are 2-3 ft. tall.
