Wickson Crabapple
Malus domestica 'Wickson'
Wickson Crabapple is a favored variety among cider makers, delivering a concentrated blend of high sugar and high acid levels. With a sturdy, cold-hardy tree and abundant white blooms, this apple produces clusters of dazzling red fruits that are slightly susceptible to common diseases. While versatile for fresh eating, this apple truly shines as a cider apple thanks to its intense flavor. Its bright yellow-red fruits yield a juice abundant in both flavor and nutrients. Known for its high sugar content balanced by strong acidity, Wickson Crabapple is a top choice for late-harvest harvesting.
