Tree by Fox Road appears to be part of Emma & Joe Hardy farm old orchard, half dead but one side alive. Other orchard trees inside fence and now dead mostly due to cows (pasture). Moderate sized tree with 1 1/2" fruit, pretty yellow and red late summer, later all red. Tart but pleasant flavor. Seems likely a named variety but don’t know what. Possibly planted in the 40’s. 2020 / 2021 / 2022 - Graft slow growing but looking good. 2019 - Cut a scion late winter from tree along road, and grafted end of May onto orchard crab a13, high east branch. Grew well 10". Fruit/seeds planted last Dec. grew four good plants, good growth 6-8". Mid October transplanted one to NEOrch. Transplanted 3 within nursery plot to transplant later. See Emma's Crab Seedlings page. 2018 - Picked small bowl (17) of fruit end of September to add to Spiced Crabapple batch. Very nice 1 1/2" red/yellow. Unfortunately overcooked them so they split (ate them anyway - very good!). Mid December found 3 frozen, mushy fruit under the tree. Brought home and mashed into ground in nursery plot, covered lightly. See Emma's Seedling page.
