any years ago when crabapples were used primarily for their flowers alone, Simpson began an extensive research and development program for improved crabapples. Based on familiarity with the early work of Dr. Ralph Shay, Purdue University, in breeding disease resistant apple varieties we began a crabapple breeding program. Our aim has been to produce disease resistant trees which would have other desirable characteristics such as distinctive form, shape, vigor, flowers and fruit. Special consideration has been given to selection for annual abundant showy bloom and also a long lasting display of small colorful fruits which do not drop. Thus, we add year-round appeal in the landscape, not just a brief floral display.

For 20 years, the late Les Nichols, national authority on crabapple diseases, tested our selections and made recommendations to the nursery industry. Many of our originations are now familiar names nationwide. Click here for some of the cultivars of crabapples and other species originated and/or introduced by Simpson Nursery.
