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.
