Blue Hill Road Kill Crabapple 2yr Old Bare Root Tree

This Grafted crabapple is a prolific tree that bears heavily and annually. The Road Kill Crab™ is an exceptional tree. It is disease resistant, producing heavily on one-year-old wood, making for a tree with weeping branches loaded with crabapples. These 1” to 1 1/2″ crabapples are spicy tart and attractive to the whitetail deer. Roadkill crab™ has extreme vigor and grows exceptionally fast. The original Road Kill crab™ tree has claimed a lot of deer as it hangs over the roadside. Road kill deer always lie on the Road beneath the original Road Kill Crab™ tree. This tree earned its name and has proven exceptional when looking to feed or attract deer.

The crabapples from this tree start to shed a few in early October and continue well into December. Like many Crabapples, some years Road Kill Crab™ likes to persist and may need some good wind to pour crabs to the ground. The Road Kill Crab™ is very precocious and generally bears fruit the same year as planting. This tree is self-fertile and has extreme vigor among the cultivars grown here. In a no-spray situation, I have seen excellent resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, powdery mildew, and fireblight or immunity. The mature height of Road Kill Crab™ is 20’+. Plant Hardiness Zone 4b-8.
