Found this in Imperial Landing in Richmond this morning. Don't like apple/crab apple. Some of the fruit are egg sized. Could this be some sort of plum ?
Suggest you cut one in half. Looks like Malus/apple. see below. Some apples are oval. Buy crab apple Malus 'John Downie' If it is a Prunus/plum it will have a single stone. Below is Prunus spinosa...a sloe
Forgot to mention, there is a whitish stone. But I didn't have a knife with me. A passing lady split one with her bare hand. Will bring a cutter next time.
Thanks Ron. Also looks similar to the fotos. I just went this evening with a cutter. Cut it in two directions and post the picture. There is no stone. So this is not a plum.
Crab apple are desirable for jelly An old fashioned English type of recipe My Canadian grandparent (but born in UK) would “hunt” for crab apple to make jelly They are not very common these days as a farm crop.
