(Malus 'Honeycrisp')
Have you dreamed of picking a fresh apple from a tree in your backyard? A dwarf tree that won’t take up too much space in your yard, Honeycrisp is an “early to mid-early blooming variety”, so as long as there’s a crabapple nearby, you should be picking your own apples in no time. Pollination can also occur by hanging a basket of in-bloom branches from a crabapple or similar blooming apple tree in your tree.
