Wiki Draft

Abbot is a prairie-listed applecrab in the source. It is recorded as a cross of Elsa and Melba and associated with Dr. C. F. Patterson of the University of Saskatchewan in 1960.[S1]

The source classifies it as a crabapple or applecrab, which means it is a small-fruited type (about 5 cm or less in diameter), rather than a standard apple.[S1]

The description in the source is brief: Abbot bears small, yellow fruit with a blush on the skin.[S1] No flesh, flavor, season, storage, tree habit, or disease information is provided, so the horticultural profile is limited.[S1]

Its main documented interest is parentage and context. Elsa and Melba suggest a selection path toward a small-fruited northern cultivar, but the source only links Abbot to Patterson and the year and does not provide further details on Patterson’s role.[S1]
