Default [IBC] crabapple species?

Craig Cowing wrote:


...So, should I call it an apple or crabapple? It doesn't
make any difference to me. What would be most accurate?



Call it "Malus" (no more syllables than "apple).


If pressed for specifics, "Malus species"

Accurate and true


With Malus towards none, and crabapples for all,
