I was wondering if there is any difference between the two? Does crab apple make a tart tasting smoke?

I have two huge crabapple trees in my yard. When I trim them I keep the wood for smoking does not seem to be any difference in smell or flavor of the smoke.

thanks for the answer SixPack, I'm glad to hear it because I have a feeling it will be allot easier for me to get my hands on some crabapple wood.
