[IBC] Malus x purpurea
I collected a very gnarly tree that I believe is an apple of some sort.
I cut it off so it's just a bare trunk now. The new shoots are coming out purplish in color. The leaves are just beginning to turn green but they're almost an inch long and still mostly purple. Could this be this variety, or something else?

I don't think it exists in the "wild." It should have very dark, maybe shiny, bark.

One of my predecessors was into planting ornamental trees, and this could be one of his. By the time I collected it, it was surrounded by much larger trees and had been hit a couple of times with falling branches. The bark is a medium gray, not shiny.
