SLN Crab apples - Are they still hanging?

[CrazyEd]

I'm curious of those growing some of the crab apples from St. Lawrence Nursery. Specifically, Winter Wildlife Crab, All Winter Hangover, and the Violi's.

Are they still holding fruit right now? If so, got pics?

We have all 3 at camp. I pulled the last of the apples from the trees before the bears could get any ideas. That was back in late November. I haven't let many fruits on the trees to begin with - I want the trees to put more energy into growing bigger. I will say our All-Winter-Hangover trees have put on a LOT of apples for only being 5th leaf this coming spring. This past fall the one had upwards of 50 apples on it. The Winter Wildlife and Violi's have only produced a couple apples so far, and I yanked them for above reasons.

The last trees ( regular apples ) holding fruit were Goldrush and Kerr. I pulled them off as well. I saw someone's ( Natureboy's ?? ) post on here that showed Galarina apples holding well, but ours haven't fruited yet.

Anyone have some all winter hangover pictures? When will these drop in PA?

All Winter Hangover planted 2013 on Antonovka rootstock. Produced about 10 fruit 2015. Dropped mostly in Oct. No fruit 2016

Violia Hanging planted 2011 on Antonovka rootstock. Produced 1 fruit 2015. No fruit 2016.

Winter Wildlife planted 2005 on Antonovka rootstock. Not sure when it started to produce, but has been very reliable with some fruit hanging on until spring.

The All Winter Hangover and Violia both need a few more years to mature to see what their drop times will be.

Exactly the type of info I was looking for. I have been trying to decide if I should graft a few more each of these.

Thanks.

Thanks Grey for the pix and info. Our oldest A-W-H crab was planted in 2013 too. It's about 12 to 13 ft. tall, but still too young to get a good read on it's hang-time. I hope to see some fruit on our Winter Wildlife crabs for the first time this coming year. They're going to be 3rd leaf this spring.
