Pyrus baccata, Linn. (Malus baccata, Borkh. Malus microcarpa var.
baccata, Carr. M. baccata var. sibirica, Schneid.). Siberian Crab. Fig.
3288. Small round- headed tree, with a compact crown, smooth in all its
parts at maturity; growth hard and wiry: lvs. ovate to ovate-lanceolate
or ovate-acuminate, thin and glabrous, on slender petioles, finely and
nearly evenly serrate, bright green: fls. appearing with the lvs. on
long and very slender (2-3 in.) greenish pedicels, white, handsome;
style mostly longer than the stamens, lightly hairy or glabrous: fr.
from the size of a pea to 3/4in. diam., on long, hard sts., yellow or
red and firm and often translucent in texture, never becoming mellow,
the calyx falling away before maturity. Siberia to Manchuria and
N.China. B.M. 6112. M.D.G. 1899:454. Gt. 11:202. —Difficult to
distinguish from P. pulcherrima: larger, becoming a distinct tree,
sometimes as large as a large apple tree: lvs. with blunter teeth, and
usually much longer, very slender, hard, glabrous petioles: fls.
lighter colored, usually white; vernation convolute (lvs. rolled in the
bud). It runs into many forms, particularly in fr. Var. mandshurica,
Maxim. (Malus baccata var. mandshurica, Schneid.). Low densely branched
tree when growing in the open but tall and wide-spreading in forests:
lvs. broader, elliptic or round-elliptic, mostly entire, the petiole,
rib, and nerves, as well as infl., more or less hairy: style scarcely
as long as the stamens: fr. elliptic, atout 1/2in. diam. Amur region,
Korea, Cent. China, Japan. Var. himalaica, Maxim. (Malus baccata var.
himalaica, Schneid.). Lvs. very broad-oval, coarsely serrate, more or
less hairy underneath, particularly on midrib. W. Himalaya. A handsome
form from Korea with pure white large fls., large dark green lvs. and
large dark red fr., is distinguished by Rehder as forma Jackii: from
var. mandshurica it differs in being glabrous.— The Siberian crabs of
pomolo- gists belong to P. baccata, but to which of the several
botanical forms (if to any of them) is not clearly determined; the
species is also used in cold countries as a stock on which to graft the
common apple. It is a species of great hardiness, withstanding the
climate in the Canadian N. W. provinces. It is much subject to blight
(pear-blight) and for this reason its usefulness is much limited.
Hybrids with P. Malus promise a valuable type of apple for cold
regions. See Fig- 648, Vol. I, and pp. 569 and 570. The large-fruited
pomological crab-apples of the Hyslop and Transcendent type are
supposed to be hybrids between P. baccata and P. Malus, and to these
forms the name P. prunifolia has been applied but probably erroneously.
The P. cerasifera, Spach, is of the P. baccata group, and is probably a
hybrid: it makes a large tree with spreading head, and bears very large
pure white fls.: the fr. is variable in size, shape, and color, and
either retains or drops the calyx.
