Nelson County Crab

NELSON COUNTY CRAB is another candidate in orchardist Tom Burford's opinion for the lost Taliaferro (Thomas Jefferson's favorite cider apple). This is a precocious tree, early blooming. Appears promising for cider.

Fine fruit is the most perfect union of the useful and the beautiful that the earth knows.

—A.J. Downing, Fruit & Fruit Trees of America
