First grown around 1865 at Whitney Nursery in Franklin Grove, Illinois, by nurseryman A.R. Whitney. It was first recorded in 1869. It became a favorite due to its good production and cold hardiness as well as its resistance to diseases.
Like most crabapples, it’s a good pollinator. It blooms early and should be ready to pick near the middle of the harvest season. Whitney apples are great for use in cooking, jelly, cider, and sauces. They are a bitter tasting apple and are on the larger side for a crabapple.
