Crabapples – Eating
Q: We’re having a debate about eating crabapples from trees growing along a busy four-lane road. Would these be safe?
A: I’m not a doctor but I’d be more concerned with road dust and chemicals that land on leafy wild edibles like dandelions or chickweed. I’d feel safe eating the crabapples after washing them.
