Centennial Crab Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)


The cutest, sweetest little hybrid crabapple.

An upright, rounded tree, Centennial Crab is extremely cold hardy–up to zone 3. This crab is an easy tree to grow; it is scab resistant and somewhat fireblight resistant. The mid-season bloom is white.

The fruit is medium to large, about two inches in diameter, and slightly elongated. The skin is bright red mottled over orange, and the flesh is white, sweet, and mildly acidic. This is a perfect little snacking apple, and it is also used for baking and sauces.

Centennial was developed in 1957 at the University of Minnesota in Excelsior.

Clean vs. Regular

Our clean scion is harvested from trees grown on G.16, which is extremely sensitive to viruses. These trees would not have survived if the scion contained viruses. Our clean wood has not been lab tested. Regular = may contain one of the common latent viruses; this is not usually a problem and can be used with most rootstocks.
