Transcendent is recorded as a crabapple, noted as an astringens (also rendered adstringens) clone, and classified as CR, which in this document means crabapple or applecrab with fruit under 5 cm [S1]. The fruit is listed as 3 to 4 cm long (or across), yellow-green, usually with a red cheek [S1]. The only date context is that it was grown before 1844, so an exact release or introduction year is not stated [S1].
The entry is presented as the most vigorous and praised crabapple of the period discussed, in the context of early Alberta orchard plantings [S1]. It is linked to historical references such as PSM, Hansen, Lacombe Nursery (1936), and Maurer, including the 1901 Provincial Show in Morden, Manitoba [S1]. The record also carries a fireblight note FB3 and hardiness code H1; H1 is the hardest class defined by the same source [S1].
