George Miller is a wild crabapple listed in N. E. Hansen's South Dakota Experiment Station bulletin in the section on taming the American wild crabapple.[S1] The entry is brief but specific. It gives a 1939 introduction or listing date and says the selection was found by George Miller near his home at Muscatine, Iowa.[S1]
The source does not describe the fruit, tree, season, flavor, or use. It only says that George Miller had not yet fruited at the South Dakota Station when the bulletin was published.[S1] This leaves it as an early named wild crabapple selection in the station's hardy fruit program, documented before station evaluation produced a fuller horticultural account.[S1]
In the broader context of the bulletin, George Miller appears among American wild crabapple material being collected and compared for northern fruit breeding and selection.[S1] The available evidence supports describing it as a wild crabapple from Iowa with a 1939 reference date, but not a fuller account of its quality, hardiness, or parentage.[S1]
