Malus orientalis, the eastern crabappleorCaucasus apple, is a species in the genus Malus found in Bulgaria, Turkey (including East Thrace), the Transcaucasus, and Iran.[2] With its relatively large yellow fruit, it has been consumed by people for millennia, with a string of halved, dried fruit being found in a royal tomb at Ur. Drying the fruit and then rehydrating by boiling cuts the tartness. M. orientalis contributed slightly to the gene pool of domesticated apples, a distant second to Malus sieversii.[3][4]
