Dolgo Crabapple Tree

Dolgo Crabapple Tree

Dolgo Crabapple Tree is a great crabapple variety brought from Siberia in the late 1800’s. Crimson red, 1-1/2″ long fruits follow Dolgo’s profuse, large, snow-white flowers. Use richly flavored Dolgo fruit for cider, preserves and canning. Dolgo is hardy to at least minus 40° F. and is very disease resistant and easy to grow.

Pests & Diseases: All apples, except those that are described as disease resistant, can be affected by Apple Scab. Apple Scab is especially a problem in regions with wet springs, like we have in the Pacific Northwest. While it doesn’t seriously affect the eating quality of the fruit, it can cause black spots on the apples and foliage. Apple Scab can be controlled by sulfur and other sprays. Pests such as Codling Moth and aphids can also damage apples or the foliage of apple trees. See our Sulfur and Codling Moth traps in the Supplies section.
