Hope is recorded as Hansen (1920) and is identified as a McIntosh seedling; no other pedigree is listed [S1]. The cultivar is coded CR, meaning a crabapple-type form with fruit under 5 cm, and the fruit size is given as 2.5 to 3 cm [S1]. Its skin is bright garnet red and turns yellowish bronze when ripe, with purplish pink flesh that ripens orange [S1].
Flavor is described as acidy-bitter (also noted as candy-bitter), with no astringency; the core is very tight and the fruit can become mealy [S1]. It is rich in pectin and is noted as good for jelly, but better mixed with milder fruit so color is stronger [S1].
The tree is described as sturdy, strongly branched, vigorous, and ornamental, and appears in a second-season context in the source [S1]. It was tested as a rootstock, but trees lost vigor and scion unions failed around first fruiting [S1]. Hardiness is rated H2 (moderately hardy), SC3 indicates scab susceptibility, and a code FB1 appears with an uncertain meaning from this packet [S1].
