Southern Crabapple

Anyone hunt around them, or know much about them? I have several I was going to plant on the farm. I see that they are very susceptible to cedar rust.

My neighbor has 2 in his front yard. There are always deer eating them when they fall.

Used to hunt around several in Scott County, they were always a slam dunk, course most any apple during hunting season is. Most of the wild trees here are dead or dying now. The are very susceptible to a number of diseases.

Thats why i hate to plant them. But they were free and Iam sure it will be better than what is there now... nothing....

How big are the apples on them?

 

[PickettSFHunter]

Anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 inches. There are lots of variations in color and size depending upon the source. The wild trees here average alittle over an inch and are yellow green. There are also some reds.

Cool, I have around 30 or so to put out.

I'm sorry, did you say they were free? And you are trying to decide whether you want to plant them? Tell ya, I'll take 29 of them if you like.
