Fate, in the form of a care package from Indiana, brought these two tiny August apples to me at the same time last month. And, they are kind of similar.
You probably know that crabapples are, basically, little apples. They can be sour, bitter, sweet, good, or bad, just like other apples. Just had to get that out of the way. Today's are on the large side for crabs, standing about 2 inches tall. Although standing is a little problematic because, for some, the remains of the calyx , clenched tight, project beyond the tiny area defined by the "chins" or crown at the base.
