'Dolgo' Crabapple
FamilyRosaceae
Malus 'Dolgo' is a hardy ornamental and fruiting apple tree, prized for its spectacular early bloom, composed of large, pure white single flowers that brighten gardens from early spring. It then produces an abundance of small, bright red edible fruits, ideal for jelly, preserves, or feeding wildlife. Its rounded to oval habit, extreme cold tolerance, and good disease resistance make it a top choice for amateur orchards, naturalized gardens, or country plantings. Its dark green foliage sometimes turns golden yellow in autumn, complementing its seasonal appeal. 'Dolgo' thrives in full sun, in well-drained soil, and is suitable for both its edible and decorative interest, integrating with versatility into Quebec landscapes.
