- Subject: [NAFEX] Applecrab rating

I tasted Trailman Crab for the first time this year. According to my readings it was the only applecrab seeming to challenge Centennial for first place as best tasting crab.
Result: I would rate Trailman as almost as good as Chestnut and Kerr which I rate second to Centennial. Here is my one person rating of the following crabs, in order from first to last place (this is only the first crop of Trailman and I only tasted one apple and the Trailman tree was somewhat crowded and possibly a bit lacking in sun, nevertheless, I thought it might be representative, only subsequent years will tell):
Centennial 10
Chestnut 9
Kerr 9
Trailman 8
Whitney 6
I'm very curious about Callaway which Lucky rates highly. Also, Canada has many applecrabs that I have yet to try, but most are usually rated lower than Chestnut by others.
