Note from asker:
| The client said to leave it as florentinas - they are apparently used in some food additives and other purposes :-) Thanks for the help :-) |

A good link. I just didn't want to give the latin scientific name. Who would understand it?

crab apples
It would appear that this is a type of crab apple - not typically an eating fruit, because it's normally v sour, but used in preserve making because of high pectin content, and also in cider.
Malus florentina is a kind of crab apple, as in the link I posted above, but not all crab apples are the florentina variety.
