So I guess that crabapples aren't demonstrably different
than other apples.

generally much smaller & a lot more acid than eating apples.
the tree i want to propagate has larger than usual fruit (2.5-
3") & some sweet with the acid. it is an excellent cider
apple.

Cider?? How 'bout cider of the hard kind? ;-) Seriously, have you had
or made crabapple hard cider?

My grandmother had large crabapple tree and she made the best jelly
from them, gawd I'd like to have a jar of that again. IIRC, given I
was small then, they were a large crab and were rather sweet along with
the bite. I seem to remember they were rosish on the top fading to
light yellow on the bottom. Maybe not. Hadn't though of them in
years. It was a large tree, if there is such a thing as a standard
crab. Made darn good projectiles for us neighborhood kids in a
crabapple fight.

but yeah, crabs are just apples that people don't appreciate


What? You calling Billy an apple? Crabby Appleton!! (remember him?)
But Billy definitely isn't "rotten to the core".
