Is it a crab? If so which variety? The fruit seems very large for a crab apple. A magnificent sight every year, surprised it's not been cut down. Thanks to anyone that can identify this.

This tree is not a crab apple, it is probably a roostock - possibly
M25 - that has survived when the grafted variety failed. The apples are edible and would make a good juice.
