Kerr Applecrabs grow to be 1 3/4 inches (4 cm) wide.

They have yellow skin flushed with crimson red, and dusted with a bluish tinge.

Inside, they have yellow, crisp, firm, juicy flesh tinged with red. The taste -- tart with a bit of sweet to it -- improves in storage, particularly by Christmas. Many people don't like the flavour when it is first picked, in fact.

The fruit ripens late September / early October.
