Also known as Wickson Crab. This is an Albert Etter variety. Tart, reddish, and striped, the Wickson parentage is a little obscure, but may be a cross between the Esopus Spitzenburg and the Newtown Pippin. Favored for crab apple jellies because of the high pectin content. It blossoms early so it is a good pollinator for other apples.

PLEASE NOTE: These scions are smaller than our usual standard. They just don’t have as much growth this year but there are still pieces that can be grafted. Scions ordered will be somewhere between 4-8”.
