If you are in the north, Centennial crab makes a great slow growing,
excellent tasting, crisp disease free apple for early to mid-August. If
you're south it would turn mushy too fast. Here in Wisconsin it ripens over
several weeks and is the first really crisp apple of the year.

Centennnial is a tasty little apple-crab here in southern KY, but ripens in early to mid July in my orchard - and you have to pick it as soon as it starts to show any amount of red blushing, or it does indeed, become mealy and tasteless pretty quickly.
