I don't have much experience with growing crabs, but may have some useful 
info on a couple of sources...
Johnson's Nursery sells 'Callaway' crabapples, but is sold out this year.  If 
you are planning for next year, they can be reached at:
http://www.johnsonnursery.com/FRUIT%20PAGES/APPLES.htm

I don't have Jim Lawson's latest catalog, but several edible ornamental crabs 
are listed in last year's catalog (I didn't see 'Callaway', but he probably 
offers it some years).  Jim's wife did pass away  in 2002, but as far as 
know, the nursery is being continued with the help of their daughter & her 
husband.  The nursery can be reached at 770-893-2141.

I have had consistently excellent trees from both these sources and highly 
recommend both.

Subject: [NAFEX] Edible, ornamental crab sources

A colleague asked today for recommendations for a crabapple which is
beautiful in bloom, and also has fruit useful for cider, jelly, etc.
Heirloom or other historic value also a plus.  He'd like to buy one and put
it in now, so please suggest sources.

Thanks,
