Wild crabs and apples are a gem!
They are adapted to your soils,environment, and the disease pressure. I feel many of our wild crabs and apples have been ignored by those in the hard cider industry as well.
Growing open pollinated seeds is a gamble, but I have been happy with most of the seedlings I have grown from larger wild crab apples. They just seem to be more carefree to grow and winter kills off those who lack the hardiness first my climate.
