{{Inc| Pyrus soulardii, Bailey (Malus Soulardii, Brit.). Soylard Crab. Figs. 3286, 3287. Apparently natural hybrids of P. Malus and P. ioensis: a small tree, with much the look of an apple tree, and woolly: lvs. large, round-ovate to elliptic-ovate or oblong-ovate, either rounded or tapering at the base, often very blunt or even rounded at the top, mostly bluntly and coarsely serrate or dentate when young, irregularly crenate- dentate at maturity, with a tendency to become lobed, on short pubescent petioles, thick and often rugose and woolly beneath: fls. blush, in close woolly clusters like those of the apple: fr. often 2 in. or even more in diam., flattish lengthwise, yellow and often with a tinted cheek, the basin shallow, flesh fairly edible. Wild in the Mississippi Valley from Minn, to Texas, but always local and in different forms of fr.—Named for James G. Soulard, Galena, III., who intro. the first variety to cult. In some forms the lvs. become nearly smooth late in the season and there is little tendency toward an irregular notching or lobing of the margins. The tree is hardy and the fr. keeps well and is useful for culinary purposes. A few named varieties are grown in the upper Mississippi Valley, where trees of great hardiness are demanded. For accounts of the pomological offshoots of our native apples, see Bailey, "Evolution of Our Native Fruits," and Craig & Hume, "Native Crab Apples and Their Cultivated Varieties," Iowa Acad. Sci., 1899. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
