Siberian Crabapple Seeds (Malus baccata) - 75+ Seeds

Malus baccata is possibly the most cold hardy species of apple tree available.  First brought into Canada from Siberia in the late 1800s by Niels E. Hansen.  Dolgo crab was a one of the Malus baccata seedling he selected over 100 years ago.   We have a twenty year old planting of these trees at an old homestead and the trees thrive with neglect, and they're very cold hardy.   They're a full size apple tree.

Excellent root stock for the prairies, you can grow them out as a cold hardy "frame" tree and graft your favourite varieties onto the branches, or makes an excellent decorative yard tree with a display of spring flowers.  Excellent for wildlife. The fruit will be variable in size and color, usually 1/2" - 3/4" and red or yellow.
