The evil weed covers tart fruit

So I’m hacking away at the Evil Weed up on the hill and I’m thinking, Hey, this is where I found those apple blossoms last May. Are they apples yet? So I pulled more swallowort off the tree and find one, three, four…

Crabapples! There’s only a few fruits, but it’s a young tree, hardly more than a branch sticking out of the ground. Still, see it fruit bodes well for the heirloom apples I expect to plant next spring.

Considering that I pulled nearly the same contortions getting pictures of the blossoms there’s a good chance these are the fruit of the same. What do you think?
