An excellent, scab-immune dessert apple.
Jim Double Pink Apple on B.118 (Spring 2023)

An ornamental crabapple with small red fruit.
An elegant, upright ornamental crabapple with small red fruit and an excellent pollinizer. This cultivar was developed by my Dad, Dr. James N. Cummins as a fun project. He put it through the same gauntlet of disease testing that he put the Geneva rootstocks through. As a result, "Jim" is extremely resistant to fireblight and phytophthora. The tree produces a delicate white-pink double blossom and tiny red apples that will attract birds. Plant this with the weepy Cindy Red Ornamental. Jim and Cindy
