Sam, et al.

Thanks for the comments about Dolgo. I've looked at pictures of Dolgo online and it doesn't look much like the specimen I found.

If you haven't already, I wonder if you could take a look at the picture I posted. It doesn't have the redness typical of Dolgo and it is much more definitely pear shaped. The shape is so distinctive that it caught my eye immediately.

Guess I'm wondering exactly what it is if not Dolgo.

This is the time when Dolgo crabs ripen here in the Twin Cities.
"Dolgo" means "long" in Russian. This cultivar was named for the
long, oval fruit. The shape does not remind me much of a pear,
however. Dolgo crabs make WONDERFUL ruby-colored jelly. Also, the
tree is very disease resistant. I had one in my front yard, but had
to take it out because the neighbor was unhappy with the fruit that
dropped on his property. -- Sam Brungardt in St. Paul, Minn.

Subject: [nafex] Oblong crab

Has anyone ever seen a very oblong crab apple? I've never seen such a
thing before but found two different instances while visiting here in
the Minneapolis area. Here is a photo of one. It looks like a
miniature pear. They aren't ripe yet but still have a juicy and fruity
flavor right now.

Just wondering if this is rare.
