Wickson Crab is an exceptional small American apple combining very high sugar, bright acidity and intense aroma. It produces lively, powerful and fragrant cider, sometimes with an almost wine-like character, and can also be used for jelly or fresh eating. Its abundant blossom makes it a useful pollinator. The main disadvantage is the time-consuming harvest caused by the very small fruit.

Wickson Crab is a popular crab apple with dense white blossom followed by attractive pink/red flushed apples, which are large by crab-apple standrds.
Wickson Crab apples contain plenty of pectin and are therefore useful in the kitchen for jams and jellies.
Unusually for a crab apple, Wickson Crab is also very sweet. The high sugar content is balanced by a strong acid content, and this potent combination makes the juice of Wickson Crab very popular for cider production in the United States.
