Craig asked for a name not whether the tree is native. The

non-native ones. That's why I said that everything Malus was
a candidate
in the first place. Those three are just more likely
candidates.
I looked at the leaves again, and I think it is Malus
sylvestris. The leaves match
perfectly. What I didn't know was if a wild crabapple could be
of this species, or
a different one. It definitely is a crabapple though. The
apples on the ground
when I collected it were small and crabby.
Which they also are on a feral domestic apple. ;-)
