Applecrab

Applecrabs are various hybrids between crabapples and apples. They are bred for varying reasons, including disease resistance and use in cold climates because they are often hardier than apple trees and their fruit has the good eating qualities of apples.

Applecrabs are sometimes distinguished from apples if the fruit diameter is less than 5 cm (2 in).
