Transcendent Apple

scionwood
Malus spp.
This is a twig for grafting. Late summer.

20x30' 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 American crabapples and certainly the one with the coolest name. White single flowers bloom with midseason apples. Red-blushed roundish 1½-2" fruit ripens in late summer. 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. Probably Z4.
