Siberian Crab Apple

Harcourt Apple is a cold-hardy variety developed by the University of Alberta. In spring, it produces fragrant white blossoms shaded with pink. The medium-sized apples mature from late summer into fall, featuring red-striped skin with greenish-yellow highlights. The fruit is crisp and juicy, with a mild, pleasant flavour. They are well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.

For fruit production, cross-pollination is required. Apples need to be planted with another Apple or Crab Apple variety.

Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Siberian Crab Apple is a beautiful, cold hardy, ornamental tree. Its stunning white blossoms burst in the spring to produce deep red fruit.

If you are looking for a great landscape or shade tree, Siberian Crab Apple is a beautiful addition to any yard.

As a rootstock, it is one of the hardiest available. Just be aware that Siberian Crab Apple may be incompatible with varieties that don't have crab apple parentage.
