Transcendent Crab

Does anyone have one? Is it at bearing age? I would love to see some pictures of it. I just discovered this one and am looking to add 1 to my orchard over the next year. What are your thoughts about this variety for those that have experience with it?

Thanks guys.

Well....im not an apple guy at all but about 5 years ago I bought 5 of them at my local feed store coop. These were very small bare root whips. I have kept compitition grass and weeds down and that is it except a litte fertilizing. I should have pruned them but I just let them go and see how they turn out for wildlife trees. The last 2 years they have grown a lot. They have made fruit in 3 years but only a handful each tree but each year a few more fruit. This picture was a year ago. I have not had time to go to my place at all to check on things but unless something has changed I'd bet they are really growing. They took so long to get established because of how small they were when I planted them.
So far I really like them and finally bought 5 dolgo crabapple trees to plant on the row besides them, but this time I bought some decent sized ones to start with.
