I know there are folks better versed on this than I, but my understanding is
that an apple smaller than 2 inches in diameter when mature is a crabapple.

'Regular' apples are Malus pumila. Crabapples may come from pumila or other
Malus species.

What is the distinction/difference between an apple and a crabapple?
