@sadarish: The crab apple has a long history spanning thousands of years as the ancient wild ancestor and genetic contributor to the modern domesticated apple. Central Asia: All modern apples trace their ultimate genetic lineage back to wild ancestors like Malus sieversii originating in the Tian Shan mountains and Kazakhstan Neolithic and Celtic Use: Evidence shows humans have eaten bitter crab apples (Malus sylvestris and local wild species) since Neolithic times over 4,000 years ago. Ancient cultures like the Celts revered the tree and used the tart fruit for food, vinegar, and mead. Indigenous North American Species: North America also has native crab apple varieties that were historically harvested, traded, and used as food and medicine by Indigenous peoples.
