An attractive, highly disease-resistant apple, ideal for organic growers.
Geneva Crab Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)
A red-fleshed crab that yields a highly acidic juice.
Geneva Crab is a very vigorous, hardy tree that is somewhat susceptible to fireblight but resistant to scab. It is partially self-fertile, but a second variety will be needed for full production. This tree does not produce viable pollen, and it cannot be used as a pollenizer.
Geneva Crab is a solid choice for red cider, jelly, and blending in juice. It is a medium-sized crabapple with high acidity and low sugar. Its red leaves and bright pink blossoms make it a beautiful choice for a home garden. In upstate New York, it ripens September-October.
Geneva Crab was developed in 1930 by the Ottawa Experimental Farm in collaboration with the New York State Agricultural Research Station in Ottawa. It is an open-pollinated seedling of Malus niedzwetzkyana, which also gave us Almata.
