Parentage - Seedling of Malus baccata

Canning, jelly, dessert

An exceptionally hardy and healthy tree that produces oblong fruits that begin yellow and gradually blush and turn deep red when mature. Superb for jelly and pickled crabs as the fruits are naturally sweet. For jelly, pick before fruit is entirely red. Good for eating as well with a unique strawberry-pineapple flavour. White blossoms.
