Malus orientalis, the eastern crabapple, is a species in the genus Malus found in Turkey (including East Thrace), the Transcaucasus, and Iran.[2] With its relatively large fruit, it has been consumed by people for millennia, with a string of halved, dried fruit being found in a royal tomb at Ur. Drying the fruit and then rehydrating by boiling cuts the tartness. It is thought that M. orientalis contributed to the gene pool of domesticated apples.[3]
