Hello All,

 

My Empire apple that I purchased from a reputable source has turned out to be a yellow crab(?). Does anyone have any suggestions regarding names and quality.

The fruit is approx two inches across and starting to get a pink tinge - probably ready in a week or so.

 

I am not a crab apple fancier and am wondering if it would be better to re-work the plant into something else - unless I have a 'gem' of an apple.

 

I did a Google search on yellow crab images and the only thing I could find was a pic in England - but no ID. (3rd pic)

 

I resized my JPEG's to GIF's using PIXresizer - hopefully, this will not tie up the pc's of slower modems. (did this work out okay?) The England JPEG was only 4K.
