Also known as Wickson Crab. This is an Albert Etter variety. Tart, reddish, and striped, the Wickson parentage is a little obscure, but may be a cross between the Esopus Spitzenburg and the Newtown Pippin. Favored for crab apple jellies because of the high pectin content. It blossoms early so it is a good pollinator for other apples.
