    Hi all, I have an apple tree in my garden. Good cropper, heavy hard fruit with coarse texture, will keep well into the new year. I pick them [later] when the weather becomes cold as they stay on well and store some in a semi open shed.
    Question. Is it pos to identify the type ? if there is a chance, I will go out an do a david bailey on it. thanks.

    Hans its a bit of along shot to tell a variety from a picture unless we have a real apple expert hiding somewhere :D
    I know they do have a service at Wisley RHS, where they will ID varieties for you if you take some fruit along, but thats a bit far for you, could there be somewhere local to you maybe.
    Wont hurt to see a picture though would it. [​IMG]

    Thanks Pete, I've put some pictures over in General gardening. When I planted this tree 20 years ago I forgot to write the name down, It's a reoccuring problem, as I did'nt have a pc then.
