Malus ‘Hansen’s Red Flesh’

Pot size #5

What makes Hansen’s Red truly exciting is it’s stunning red flesh, which makes for excellent jellies. Hansen’s Red Flesh crabapples also make for some wonderful cider! Hansen’s Red is also one of the only red-flowering edible crabapples, which make for a stunning display in the spring.

Flavour: Fairly dry with firm, coarse flesh. Astringent and acidic. Appearance: Tall little apples are deep, dark red-skinned. The flesh is also red. Excellent in jelly. Quality for cider: Very good, especially when you value that pink tinge of colour.

Bred at Brookings, South Dakota, USA; 1928 introduction.

Grafted on G890 & G41 Semi-Dwarf Rootstock. Should be planted in a protected location.
