aroma and flavor of the wild crab which 
makes it just the thing for people who 
like the sauce of the wild crab, as it is 
so much larger. The tree is far the 
most vigorous of any apple tree we ever 
grew, is very easy to transplant, makes 
ri beautiful symmetrical tree, and is a 
regular and extremely heavy bearer.
