	I purchased a home with a small orchard consisting of 15 apple trees in 2010, I added 45 dwarf apple trees this year, one of the old trees is a crab apple that fits your descripton of the Geneva crab apple since my knowledge of apples is very limited your statement about the size of this apple as being medium is of little value to me , my apple is one and seven eights inches in diam. or about 4. 5 centimeters
