I have no idea - we only moved in in December so no idea about the fruit yet! Could 'google'.....

Found this by googling - all crab apples are edible (well not to eat as they are often bitter, but to make juice or jelly with sugar added)

Not tried Rowan - got plenty of redcurrants growing to go with the lambs who will be off to the 'big house' in July!
