description for "Apples: Malus pumila 'Whitney'"
'Whitney' Crabapple produces large, yellow crabapples striped with red. They ripen August to early September. Exceptional hardiness makes them excellent for short-season plantings. Excellent dessert crabapple. Upright growth habit. Small fruit, about 1/2 the size of a regular apple. Cross-pollinates with other apple varieties. Plant 15 feet apart. Will reach a height of 10-12 feet at maturity. Needs well drained soil. Full sun is best, but must have at least a half day of sun. Good for an espalier. Two varieties are needed for pollination - 'Cortland', 'McIntosh' and 'Yellow Delicious' are particularly effective pollinators. Zones 3-9. Edited by M.Tate
