I love this crabapple. Every morning when I take my dogs out, I have a few of these small crabapples for breakfast snack. I have this sense that they are quite fibrous. They seem a slight bit more woody than apples. I bought them to cook into pectin for my jam and jelly canned projects. But I have been eating them. I need another tree. I have been eyeing my property for space for another.
I have this tree and live in a snowy, high altitude. Yes, it will stay on through the winter, hanging like little ornaments on the bare branches. They do make the birds drunk when the fruit is left unpicked until late winter. The deer come and munch on them in the winter, too.
@@pennycatherine9735 awesome, thank you for the response! I just want to avoid that funky mess of fruit goosh at the base of the tree in late fall if we don’t get around to picking them all that year. If they’re persistent then the cedar waxwings and deer will handle the leftover fruit for me with no problem 😝
