Dolgo Apple Seedling

Malus domestica 25 × 30' or larger. Ungrafted seedlings of the same genetic heritage as our long-beloved Dolgo crabapple. Each tree will be somewhat variable and genetically unique, but comes true enough to type that it is commonly used as a standard-sized rootstock for grafting. Shows strong resistance to disease including fireblight. Leaves may exhibit a spectrum of shades of green and red. From seed collected by NE Hansen of Malus × robusta in 1897 at the Imperial Botanical Gardens, St. Petersburg, Russia. (Dolgo means ‘long’ in Russian.) Introduced in the U.S. in 1917.

The Dolgo grafted crab has apricot-pink buds; large fragrant 2" pure white single flowers bloom early. Beautiful purple-red 1½" teardrop-shaped fruit makes flavorful clear ruby-red jelly. In recent years thee aromatic very sweet, very acidic fruit has found favor with cidermakers. Great for canning, pickling and delicious sauce. Vigorous large blocky upright spreading tree consistently yields abundant summer crops. Very hardy. Z2. Maine Grown. (Standard: 3-6' bare-root trees)
