Details
Crabapple trees (Malus spp.) are a standout choice for hunters and land managers aiming to attract wildlife, particularly Whitetail Deer. These versatile trees bloom in spring with vibrant flowers that attract pollinators, and they produce small, apple-like fruit that ripens from late summer through fall. The fruit remains on the branches into winter, offering a reliable food source for deer and other wildlife. With their moderate growth rate and ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions, Crabapple trees are not only visually appealing but also an effective way to enhance your property's wildlife habitat year-round.
