Ames 550 is a crabapple or applecrab selection from the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station, recorded in 1928, with parentage listed as Brier × Mercer.[S1]
In the Prairie Canada source, it appears as a brief historical entry rather than a full cultivar profile.[S1]
The document does not provide naming history, breeder details, fruit-use direction, flavor notes, storage traits, season, or tree habit for Ames 550.[S1]
The most explicit trait shown is its CR code. In this source, CR means crabapple or applecrab and fruit less than 5 cm in diameter (small-fruited type).[S1] The source does not clarify whether it was intended for fresh eating, cooking, juice, canning, preserving, or another use.[S1]
No direct hardiness rating is given for Ames 550 in S1.[S1]
Overall, Ames 550 is documented mainly by its identity fields in this record—1928 origin, Iowa origin, Brier × Mercer parentage, and CR (small-fruited crabapple type)—while detailed horticultural traits are not provided in this source.[S1]
