Small fruit, turning red, 2-3 seeds. Not sure of ID.

I was just beginning to think Malus sp.; some crab apples have small fruit and the skin does not look like the other Pyrus sp. around Canberra.

Identified by staff at Yarralumla Nursery as Malus sp. crabapple rootstock. That could explain the small fruit size 7mm dia. on 20mm stalk.

@AaronClausen, have you started changing the system? I can't change the ID even though I am Area Moderator for this spot.

Figured out how to change the ID now. It is a two step process; Suggest then Verify.
