USA:
Most items ship from our warehouse in Milwaukee, WI, but if you are ordering a heavy or oversized item, we often have the manufacturer ship it directly to you to reduce shipping costs and save you money. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on shipment weight and destination. Eartheasy can ship to residential and commercial addresses in all 50 US States, but unfortunately oversized products do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii. If you are in Alaska or Hawaii and have your heart set on an oversized item, give us a call and we’ll try our best to help you with a freight quote. Unfortunately we do not ship to U.S. Territories or U.S. military installations at this time, but we are working on making these options available soon.
Canada:
Please check product pages to see whether your product is eligible for shipping to Canada, as unfortunately there are some products we cannot ship across the border. Canadian orders ship weekly on Thursdays via Purolator International and shipping costs include duties and taxes. Unfortunately, expedited shipping to Canada is not available at this time.
International:
Unfortunately we cannot ship internationally, including Mexico or freight forwarders. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Processing Time & Shipping Charges:
The "Lead Time" on a product specifies the number of business days for your item to be prepared by our warehouse. The Lead Time does not include the date the order is placed. This also applies for all shipping methods, including express methods. If your item is shipping freight, you will receive a call to schedule the delivery with your driver. If your shopping cart has multiple items, a shipping charge may apply even if some items are listed as "Free Shipping", as charges apply to items rather than total cart quantities.

Overview
If you plant an apple seed, you will almost always get a tree that produces small, sour apples—crabapples. For named varieties of both apples and crabapples, trees are propagated by “budding,” a type of grafting—not by seed. Choose a tried and true crabapple from our different named varieties below:
Chestnut: Blooming in early spring with white and pink blossoms,Chestnut is a vigorous annual apple producer that grows pale yellow crabapples with red blush and russeting. The uniquely chestnut flavored apples make a delicious apple cider, but can also be used in jellies or eaten fresh from the tree. This tree will mature to be15-20' tall, and 10-20' wide. Expect ripe crabapples in early fall. Good for zones 3-8.
Dolgo:Blooming longer that most varieties, beautiful white flowers provide pollen for the bees in the spring.Dolgo producescrimson red fruits that appear in August and can be used in a wide assortment of baked goods, jams, jellies, and beverages. This tree will mature to be30-40' tall, and 25-30' wide. Expect ripe crabapples in late summer.Good for zones 3-9.
Hewes:Blooming in the spring with white flowers, the Hewesis best known for its use in southern apple cider. Beloved byGeorge Washington and Thomas Jefferson, these bronze apples aredeliciously sweet with an almost butterscotch taste.This tree will mature to be 10-15' tall, and 10-15' wide. Expect ripe crabapples in the fall. Good for zones 5-9.
Hyslop:Blooming in the spring with white flowers, the Hyslop isa tried and true producer of worthy Crabapples.Highly acidic and tannin-rich red and yellow fruits are great additions to hard ciders, as well as jellies, pickles, and sauces.This tree will mature to be 12-15' tall, and 12-15' wide.

Pruning Crabapples is fairly simple. We recommend pruning the branches when your Crabapple is done flowering, and cut off any suckers around the base of your tree whenever they appear.
