Alma Sweet is listed in Edible Apples in Prairie Canada as a prairie crabapple, and its fruit is described as small, with diameter under 5 cm. It is included in the listing for crabapples and applecrabs.
The record says J. Coutts obtained Alma Sweet from grower Robert Erskine around 1978, which is the best documented entry on its local introduction path. The same source assigns it a very high hardiness rating in this directory.
The written description is short. Alma Sweet is presented mainly as a small, sweet, hardy crabapple, and it is even noted as a favorite with children.
No parentage, breeder, harvest season, storage, disease notes, or full growth habit are provided. The source gives a compact profile, so its value is mainly in its local record status, flavor note, and hardiness class placement.
