Thanks both of you for your input.

I HAVE tested them. I tend to taste before asking -- not a terribly safe way to live, mind you. They taste sour like you'd expect a crabapples to taste but I just don't have enough knowledge about these things to know.

So I've probably got me 4 crabapples trees instead of 3. I'm so damned happy I could just squeal!
Thanks you guys.

Best,
Magnus.

And I also forgot to point out that I know almost nothing about growing things but this looks like an incredible site to learn from!

I forgot to point out that we live in central eastern Alberta, Canada. I THINK we are on the edge between growing zones 3 and 4 but I'm not entirely sure.

Best,
Magnus.

Good morning, Everyone!

My wife and I recently rented a farm to live on. Early this spring we discovered what appeared to be four different apple trees in an overgrown grove of trees. All four trees had been planted in a row. We couldn't believe our good fortune be a use I love making crabapples cider each fall.

As the fruits developed, the fruit on one tree in particular grew rather small and though they LOOK like apples, if they are apples then they certainly must be the tiniest apples on the face of the earth!

Anyway so here are a few pics to help you figure this one out.
