Mecca is a small fruited applecrab, with orange red fruit about 3.5 cm across. The entry credits Saunders in 1911 and notes that it produced good yields at the University of Alberta. It was also recommended by Hinchcliff in 1956. [S1]
Its parentage is only partly clear: the cross begins with baccata, but the second parent is uncertain in the source. The entry also notes no tolerance to chlorosis and gives it an H2 hardiness rating, indicating moderate hardiness. [S1]
