Right here on the Castanet Forums. Check the BCTF threads. Lots of teachers on there.

Unfortunately crab apples are not a very popular fruit, you might have a difficult time finding some. Maybe try looking in some of the local fruit markets / stands? You might get lucky.

We found some at the Farmer's Market downtown last year. You could actually post an ad here and might get some.

I would imagine they'd be scarce considering SIR has been promoting their removal/destruction for years now.

Perhaps Hyslop would work for you at BC Tree Fruits:

Hyslop
This large crab apple of unknown origin was first recorded in 1869. It has dark red skin with purple overtones and is sometimes spelled Hislop.

Usage: Hyslops have a tangy, astringent flavour, perfect for making jelly, pickling or baking spiced crab apples.

Availability: Harvested in late July, they’re available September through June.
