An Ashmeade Kernel apple tree on Antonovka rootstock. Planted 2001 It has it's best crop this year.

I've bagged some of the apples with plastic ziplock bags to see if it keeps the bugs away.

My Purdy apple tree also on Antonovka and planted in 2001.

A Viola crab from SLN planted 2011.

A Winter Wildlife crab from SLN planted 2005

Thanks for looking.

Nice job Grey! How do you like that Viola Crab?

This is the first year that it's had fruit on it, but it looks like it will produce a nice sized crabapple.

The Violi crab we have at camp has 2 apples on it the size of ping-pong balls as of Father's Day weekend. First fruit.

Trees look great! I had a Violi produce a single crabapple last year. Apple was about the size of Chestnut crab and attractive. It was still hanging in November but lost track of it at that point. I have 4 Violi's in the yard, 2 have a decent crop this year, 2 haven't started bearing yet. Trees are pretty well behaved and sturdy. I'll know more this winter hopefully.
