Rogów, near Koluszki
It is thought to have originated in Central Asia.
Edible plant - extremely tasteful fruit.
Herbal plant - fruits are astringent and mildly laxative; the bark, and especially the root bark, is anthelmintic, refrigerant and soporific; an infusion is used in the treatment of intermittent, remittent and bilious fevers; the leaves contain up to 2.4% of an antibacterial substance called 'phloretin', which inhibits the growth of a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in as low a concentration as 30 ppm; the apple juice will reduce the acidity of the stomach, it becomes changed into alkaline carbonates and thus corrects sour fermentation; apples are also an excellent dentifrice, the mechanical action of eating a fruit serving to clean both the teeth and the gums.
Usable plant - wood is hard, compact, fine-grained, used for turnery, tool handles, canes etc; it makes also an excellent fuel.
