The name Golden Crab in literature most often describes a group of ornamental or wild-growing apple trees. Historically, there was a specific variety represented as a yellow-fruited wild apple tree, which was valued for its ornamental qualities and abundant fruiting.
The fruits are small golden-yellow apples, which are traditionally used in cooking for making jelly, jams, and wine due to their high pectin content. The plant height varies from 4 to 12 meters depending on the species and rootstock.
In modern conditions, a wide range of ornamental apple forms intended for landscaping rather than industrial commercial horticulture may be sold under this name.
