About the Chestnut :
The Chestnut Crabapple blooms in early to
mid-May. It has a pleasant nut-like flavor. It
produces a very large crabapple, up to 2" in
diameter that ripens in early September. Outstanding
flavor and good texture for fresh eating as well as
being a pollinator. A very hardy plant with a medium
storage life.
It usually has a partially russeted skin and
hangs well on the tree. It is a very productive
annual bearer, and is loaded with white blooms in
the bloom stage. The fruit quality holds well on the
tree, being quite spritely at first and becoming
sweeter later on. An excellent pollinator for other
fruit apples.
