Malus domestica 'Dolgo'

One of the very best all-purpose crab apples! Dolgo bears large 1-inch, tart, crimson red fruits you can eat raw or make into a ruby-red apple jelly. Dolgo, which means "long" in Russian, describes the shape of the fruit, which is so brightly colored and abundant it looks like a Christmas tree from afar! Dolgo crab apples are scab and mildew resistant, featuring a cascade of white flowers in the orchard every spring. Fresh eaten, Dolgo tastes like a candied cranberry and adds a bitter-sharp flavor to ciders.

The fruit is one of the first to ripen in the apple harvesting season. Great for low chill areas - only needs 400 chill hours to bloom profusely.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • I live in USDA Zone 9. If I order the Dolgo Crabapple (400 chill hours) what low chill variety should I use as a pollinizer?

    Fuji apples are good low chill options, like Beni Shogun.

Doggo Crabapple

My bare root Dolgo came packaged very nicely. I planted it the next day and in less than 2 weeks it is blossomed out and seems very healthy. I will definitely be ordering from RainTree nursery in the future

Beautiful, healthy tree budding one week after planting

I wanted a pollinator for my Fuji apple tree but didn't have a ton of room, so I got this dwarf Dolgo. I was mightily impressed with the tree Raintree sent me. It arrived in mid-April and was just coming out of dormancy. (It's funny how some reviewers don't understand the idea of dormancy -- your tree might not have leaves but that doesn't mean it's dead!) The tree had an impressive, healthy root structure and a beautiful round shape. It clearly had been professionally and carefully pruned.

A week after planting the leaves are budding on all the branches. It's clearly a happy, healthy tree. My Fuji came out of dormancy a few weeks ago so it looks like they will cross-pollinate well. And you can tell the tree will be beautiful as it grows with careful pruning, that Raintree already started. I'm 100% satisfied.

Update: less than 2 weeks later and the tree is covered in flowers. I’ve bought about 20 fruit trees in my life. I’m not the world’s greatest expert but know a little bit. This is the best fruit tree I’ve ever bought. I’m amazed at the quality — it’s a beautiful round shape, was pruned beautifully, and arrived so healthy. And it’s just budding out like a madman. Thanks Raintree!

Received the trees in fine shape and planted them the same day. They are budded out and looking healthy.

Healthy!

My Dolgo crabapple arrived healthy with many branches, and within a week of being in the ground it is giving off lots of green buds, preparing to leaf out for spring. Very happy with it!

Great crabapple

I live in Vancouver, WA. This is my second Dolgo. My first was planted three years ago and last year produced enough to make two batches of crabapple jelly. I'm delighted with this crabapple.
