Wiki Draft

## Choka summary Choka is a Malus entry listed as a small-fruited crabapple type, with green fruit under 5 cm and a right-margin code read as CR.[S1] It is a cross of ioensis x Alexander, and Hansen is associated with the 1922 selection date.[S1] Wyman also lists it as "Shoko".[S1]

## Fruit and plant character The fruit is described as 4 cm, green, and very firm in flesh.[S1] The record says the tree is vigorous.[S1] No flavor scores, yield statements, pruning notes, disease notes, or harvest window are provided in this packet.[S1]

## Origin and use context The source gives a compact breeding entry rather than a full narrative. Hansen appears as the selection authority, 1922 as the reference year marker, and Wyman supplies the alternate name.[S1] No release history, breeder biography, or named institutional trial site is included for Choka beyond this list context.[S1]

## Hardiness and geography No direct hardiness zone or survival statement is included for Choka in this record.[S1] The source is part of a Prairie Canada edible apple inventory, so the strongest geography-linked inference is only that it is included in that northern fruiting context, with no precise zone stated in this entry.[S1]
