Crab apples

[ttinman23]

Anyone know how much deer like yellow crab apples? Found some on a tree in a suburban parking lot. Filled up a whole garbage can full. Didn't really see where the deer were eating them. Maybe too bitter? IDK

Take a bite out of one. If quite bitter / sour then probably not that appealing to the deer. If sweet, I'll bet the deer would eat 'em.

They like them.

They clean them up around me!

I took a bite of one of them and it was a bitter tasting apple.

Pretty sure those are toxic/poisonous to humans...

You might check the regulation where you hunt, that might be considered baiting if there are no other crab apple trees around.

Thanks 87, just got out of coma, should have told me earlier

I thought people make jam out of them? I don't think they are the best tasting fruit out there, but I don't believe they are toxic.
