Owner's comments
Easy to pick the fruit...no ladder required. I'd call it a small tree. The fruit is great for pies and fresh eating. As a side benefit, the Dolgo crabapple (our x-pollinator) is also a really tasty fruit; great applesauce, and not bad for eating right off the tree! Our other new addition is a custom grafted Jefferis, just into its 3rd year...no fruit yet. Jefferis is also supposed to be scab resistant, hence the addition to our garden.Season records for this tree

Exceptional producer for a small tree. Using a Dolgo crabapple for x-pollination. Very happy with Liberty variety; bought for its scab resistance.2014
