Default The Trees Tha Made Britain 13/10/06


In the TV programme last night, out two heroes wound up planting a
sapling. It had a large label on it, which said IIRC 'Malus
Domestica', followed by two words that looked like Latinised versions
of Cyrillic script.

I'm fairly sure the first word was 'Krupzhinskaya' BICBW, and I have
no hope of remembering the second word.

Searching the web finds no reference to this word; and a small
English-Russian dictionary contains the root word 'krupnii', meaning
'large' or 'coarse', which does seem not to be inappropriate.

Does anyone have any further information on this?

TIA
