crab apple

Any of 25 species of wild apple trees, native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Numerous varieties of cultivated apples have been derived from Malus pumila, the common native crab apple of southeastern Europe and central Asia. The fruit of native species is smaller and more bitter than that of cultivated varieties and is used in crab-apple jelly. (Genus Malus, family Rosaceae.)
