Wiki Draft

Charles is listed in an early-20th-century Prairie apple and crabapple directory as a CR entry, identified as a crabapple/applecrab type with fruit under 5 cm and as a Malus hybrid. The source says it is a productive selection with fruit good for preserving [S1].

Its parentage is baccata x Tetofsky [S1]. It is attributed to Saunders in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, with a year of 1908 [S1], and the source cites Skinner’s 1938 catalog [S1].

The fruit is described as yellow, productive, and good-flavored, ripening in early September [S1]. The source also calls it an “attractive preserve” [S1].

Tree-level notes are sparse. Productivity is explicitly mentioned, and an FB3 fireblight code is listed [S1]. No extra notes on vigor, form, or pruning are provided in this packet [S1].

The record includes an H1-2 hardiness code [S1]. In this source set, that code is interpreted as between the hardest and moderately hardy classes [S1]. No direct USDA zone number is given.

No sibling list, descendant use, or breeding follow-on use is included in this extract [S1].
