- I want a wide variety, in terms of color, flavor, texture, ripening date,I'll vote for Centennial as the dessert-quality crab. Callaway is good, but it's really an ornamental type, with relatively large(1-1.5" max) fruit for an ornamental crab. Centennial has done well for me here in zone 6, as well as for my dad, down in AL on the zone 7/8 interface. Good fruit quality/taste, reasonable size - in the range of 2-2.5".
etc. Mostly dessert, but I'll include one dessert-quality crab, one sauce
and one cider apple, and at least one or two of them should be good for
cooking too. Hopefully all, even the cider apple, will be palatable out of
hand.
