Hyslop Crabapple Scionwood
History:Ā The exact origins of Hyslop are unclear but it was discovered sometime in the early 1800sĀ around Boston by the Hyslop family who helped develop the area. This apple was popular for over a century but in recent years has fallen into obscurity.Ā
Why We Grow It:Ā Although definitely not recommended for fresh eating, Hyslop crabapples haveĀ a sub-acid, astringent flavour and are great in cider blends. They are also known as being one of the best apples for jellies. The tree is quite attractive with blue tinged blossoms in the spring and brilliant red/purple fruit in the fall.
