Why Plant Hyslop Edible Crabapple Bare Root?
Attention all homemade Cider brewers! If you haven't already, you may want to consider adding the Hyslop Edible Crabapple to your home orchard. This gem of an heirloom was first recorded in 1869 and is a tried and true producer of worthy Crabapples! While we wouldn't recommend eating them fresh off the tree (try that at your own risk!), these highly acidic and tannin-rich fruits are glorious additions to hard ciders. They are also frequently used in jellies, pickles, and sauces but don't wait too long - while these deeply crimson red fruits are juicy when ripe, they quickly become dry and mealy if not used or stored properly. With the added bonus of beautiful white blooms in the Spring, you simply can't go wrong with planting this gem!

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
