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: will not pollinate other apples. Z3. Maine Grown. BACK! (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
