Ed’s Crazy Crab™ is a grafted apple crab that earns its name because, as shown in this picture, it pounds out the fruit. Ed’s Crazy Crab is prolific and sets fruit annually, which falls throughout the fall. The tree is red-leaved, with pink blossoms and red flesh, producing a golf ball-sized fruit that drops from October into the new year. The fruit is complex and one for you cider guys, and also one my deer gobble down. Ed’s Crazy Crab has demonstrated disease resistance against all major apple tree diseases from north to south in a no-spray situation.
The original tree stands approximately 35 feet tall and resides in Plant Hardiness Zone 4b and the border of 4a. This tree begins dropping its fruits in late October, peaks during my favorite time in November, and retains some fruits that drop throughout December here in central Pa in zones 5b/6a. The vigor is almost too extreme in this tree, as it invests a lot of energy in growth and begins to fruit heavily around age 4. The original tree resides in plant hardiness zone 4b, making it very hardy from zones 4-7. You will have a mature height of 20’+
