Crab-apple trees are widely used to pollinate all apple varieties, as they produce large volumes of blooms packed with high-quality pollen and do so over a long season.
Thankfully, crab-apples are equally valuable as a power-packed addition to cider blends, adding acid, tannin and flavour that ups the game of less interesting apple varieties.
The Manchurian crab stands out for the beauty of its profuse white blooms and the intensity of the juice in its tiny (less than half-inch) fruit.
If you’re serious about apple-growing, you’ll likely want at least one crab on hand as pollination insurance, if nothing else.
