RIVERSIDE "AS IF BY MAGIC MEDFORD, OREGON Wild Crab Apple Native to State; Is Tree or Shrub By AL HOBART For reasons other than esthetic or commercial, Wild Crab Apple was, in a day gone by, one of the most wildely known and deeply appreciated of our native west ern trees. In the autumn its bunches of little oblong sour apples were eagerly gathered by industrious housewives and their children, not to be eaten as apples but to be cooked with other pectin-wanting fruits in preparation of the coming winter' supply of jams and jellies. Nowa days, of course, we can buy for a few cents ;n any grocery store a pectin preparation in powder or liquid form that conveniently and efficiently does for us what the little wild crab apple did in the past. Of course in those early days there were no such handy preparations on the grocers' shelves; and, often as not, no pennies to buy them with if there were. The only species of native crab apple we have in the west is Oregon Crab Apple (Malus fusca). Sometimes it is found as a shrub with a number of slender stems, but more often it is a small tree up to 40 feet high. When in blossom it resembles many of our orchard apple trees. The waxy 5-petaled flowers are white or pinkish. They grow in flat-topped clusters of up to ten blossoms, on stout little stalks. The bark of mature Oregon Crab Apple is rough and bears many thin reddish scales. The leaves are oval and pointed, dark-green above, paler under neath. They are toothed and sometimes have two shallow lobes or large teeth near the base. The apples, up to an inch long and little more than half as broad, are mostly yellow with sometimes a -blush of light red, becoming much darker with age. This little wild apple is strictly a native of the Northwest and ranges from Alaska into north ern California, west of the Cas cades. It is at its best near the coast. In the winter time the bare tree is rather rough-appearing and anything but attractive, but in other seasons it is one of our most beautiful and interesting trees: in spring and summer it delights us with its myriad pink and white blossoms, followed by the stalked clusters of pretty little yellow and red apples; in the fall the kaleidoscopic color change of its leaves from green to red and bright orange leaves us with a feeling of warm appreciation for the little Oregon Crab Apple.
