Hi

We have a crab apple that is finally bearing fruit ; more precisely, had one apple on it. It was huge- about 4.5 inches in diameter, solid green, and fell off the tree unripe (or maybe was pushed off the tree by squirrels).  Anyway, my question is- do crabapples produce apples that are that large?  We got it 6 yrs ago as a whip so it might have gotten misslabeled.  

What can I expect from it? more large apples - even larger ones? The taste was woody and astringent since it was still solid green..

 

thanks,
