Trailman apple was developed at the Beaverlodge Research Station in Alberta from Trail and Osman and introduced in 1973. The small, egg shaped fruit measures about 4 to 4.5 cm (1 3/4 inches), with thin translucent yellow skin, a porcelain finish, and a reddish brown wash. Crisp, creamy yellow flesh is moderately juicy, sweet, spicy, and lightly tart, with a distinctive nutty flavour.
Trailman is suited to fresh eating, cooking, canning, jelly, and juice. Fruit ripens from late August into early September and keeps for up to two months in cold storage. The vigorous, productive trees are highly resistant to fire blight and resistant to cedar apple rust.

Apples need pollen from a different apple or crabapple to set fruit. A second variety in your yard will do it, and so will a neighbour's apple or fruiting crabapple. Double flowered ornamental crabapples make no pollen and do not count.
