Red flesh parking lot tree

[Ruffdude]

Stopped in at my local fur harvester trading post today and when I came out I noticed this crab/apple-crab on the edge of the parking lot.
Fruit was starting to get soft, had decent flavor still.
What does the brain trust here think it is?

Looks like a winner !

Great color. It’s hard to find red flesh with flavor I like. Some I can tolerate.

 

[Telemark]

Pretty neat! What's the flavor like?

 

[Ruffdude]

Sweet at first then tart

 

[Telemark]

Sounds good. Grab some scions.

Shape of the fruit looks to have Siberian crab somewhere in its genes

5b about 3 miles north of the 45th parallel but it’s only a mile from Lake Huron, the big lake keeps it warm I bet.
