Siberian Crabapple (Malus baccata) is native to Siberia, northern China, and Mongolia. Niels E. Hansen introduced it to North America in the early twentieth century. Crosses with European apples contributed to many cold hardy cultivars; Dolgo is an early selection, while Ranetka refers to forms with some hybrid ancestry.
Fruit varies from one half to one inch depending on hybridization. The species is generally hardier than Antonovka and is valued as prairie rootstock and as a wildlife tree.

Apples need pollen from a different apple or crabapple to set fruit. A second variety in your yard will do it, and so will a neighbour's apple or fruiting crabapple. Double flowered ornamental crabapples make no pollen and do not count.
