  • Are all crab apples edible?

    I am looking at buying a crab apples tree for decorative purposes. Its going against a 5ft wall in the garden.

    Firstly are all crab apples edible as I have 2 children?

    Secondly how tall fo they grow and will I be able to keep it at a height of around 6ft?

    Its a Malus Gorgeous.

    They have a full height of 6m but can you restrict the growth?
    Chickens are my thing, oh and I am growing Rocket in this Potato Barrel.

    They will be edible but probably as sour as lemons which will stop the kids eating to many.

      But brilliant to preserve with so great for jellies. I also use the strained, cooked juice (as if I were making a jelly) in with other ingredient to make chutneys. My Crab apple and Damson won a first place in our village show. It's a fabulous ingredient.
      I would think you could prune it if you want to restrict its height. You can prune other apple trees, after all.
      Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
