I have a friend wondering if she can use Royaltry crab-apples for jelly.  
Anyone have personal experience?  My Royalty tree is still sitting in its 5 
gallon pot awaiting transplanting!  lol

She's too far away for me to taste them for her, but my guess was that if 
they are high in tannin (as judged by tasting) that they won't make good 
jelly.
 

Thanks,

Sarah

Any suggestions for the best fresh eating pear? We're looking for
something for our front yard, probably a single tree.  Ornamental
qualities would be a plus, such as fall color or a red pear. My main
interest, though, is one that will taste great.  Are all pears pretty
equal on this or does anyone have any recommendations?

Regards,

Jay
