Fay Trio is a Trio crabapple. Hansen grouped it among the "International or Three-Species Apples." [S1] Sources identify it as a Hansen introduction from 1938 and give its parentage as Fluke No. 10 x Yellow Siberian crab. [S1] [S2]
The surviving record is brief but specific. Fay Trio was described as a small crabapple, about 1 3/8 by 1 1/4 inches, yellow with a dull red cheek, striped and mixed. Its flesh was noted as solid, juicy, and acid. [S1] Hansen also recorded it as a good sauce fruit that produced a light colored sauce of good quality. [S1] [S2]
Its season was given as all winter. This is one of the clearest preserved traits for the cultivar. [S1] The bulletin does not praise it for fresh eating, but the emphasis on sauce suggests Fay Trio was valued more for kitchen use than for dessert quality. [S1] [S2]
Fay Trio also matters in the context of Hansen's hardy apple and crabapple breeding for the northern Plains. The note that its seedlings "should be of value" shows it was remembered not only as a named fruit, but also as breeding material worth carrying forward. [S1]
The present sources do not provide tree habit, disease observations, or a direct hardiness rating. Its cold climate context comes from Hansen's hardy fruit program and its placement among northern three species apple material, but the packet does not give a direct zone statement. [S1]
