Default [IBC] crabapple species?

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

fact that he
found it on a pasture could as well mean that it is one of

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. ;-)
