I can't comment on the root structure of the original, but "Callaway", my 
favorite crab - at one time considered in the 'edible' category, but now 
relegated to the 'ornamental' genre, was selected from a population of 
M.prunifolia seedlings - it looked different from all the others, so maybe 
it really wasn't an M.prunifolia, after all.

Callaway is very disease resistant for me, and bears a heavy crop of 
large(for an ornamental) yellow-fleshed crabapples - very sweet.  My kids 
like it better than any other apple in the orchard.
