Northstar
Crab AppleThe hardest tree grown; bears in profusion every year; is very ornamental, as well as useful. Color red, striped, like Transcendent; very finely sprinkled and striped bright red, sometimes entirely red. It is finer than Transcendent or Hyslop, and of far better quality. The flavor is mellow enough to eat from hand. Ripe and gone before Transcendent comes in.
