Malus spp. Late Summer. Thought to be Malus × adstringens (M. baccata × M. pumila). Europe, New York or New England, well before 1840. First known reference appears to be the William Prince nursery catalog in 1844.
One of the most famous of all heirloom American crabapples and certainly the one with the coolest name. Round apricot-colored fruit with a pink blush is large for a crab (1½–2") and ripens in late summer. Flesh is orange tinted, tart, juicy and astringent, used traditionally for all culinary purposes and now becoming popular with cidermakers.
Tree is large, wide spreading and somewhat weeping. Fireblight susceptible. Fragrant pink and white single flowers bloom midseason. Triploid: won’t pollinate other varieties. Z3. Maine Grown.BACK! (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
