The Huonville Crab, first discovered in Huonville, Tasmania, by Robert Magnus in 1989 as a chance seedling tree. Noted for it's bright red skin that remains unblemished, scarlet red flesh, and dessert-like qualities (as compared with standard crab apples that is), it is quite sweet and acidic, with the acidity waning in storage. It flowers early with large bright red flowers, and high levels of pollen, and as such has been noted to be a very good pollinator, especially for other early varieties.
