Market Demand — Crab Apple
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Crab Apple viable in Lubbock?
Crab Apple can be grown in Lubbock with the right management — annual rainfall (~377 mm) is below its 600 mm need, so supplemental irrigation helps. Crab Apple (Fruits & Stimulants, perennial) performs best around 14 - 27 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 600 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Crab Apple in Lubbock: what to expect
Rainfall in Lubbock (~377 mm/yr) covers only about 63% of Crab Apple's ~600 mm need, so budget for supplemental irrigation. Plant Crab Apple in early spring once the risk of hard frost has passed in Lubbock.
