The Best Crabapple Cultivars for North Dakota
The tart flavor of crabapple makes it popular for canning and in making jellies. This fruit is grown just like apples.
A crabapple will pollinate an apple tree and vice versa. Most crabapples are partially self-fruitful but will produce higher yields in the presence of another apple or crabapple cultivar. These following cultivars are hardy to Zone 3 and are listed in order of ripening:
