A small one...

Looks like a miniature Bramley

They never grow very large MH

I can't even remember whether its an eater or a cooker since I usually cook them all as they're damaged goods

Not a Bramley then. And too red for a Granny Smith. That's me out of ideas. You'll have to wait for FB, he's sure to know.

I think there are too many missing pieces of information (eater, cooker, ripening season, quantity and appearance of the pips, bearing habit-tip/spur, tree growth habit-uprt/sprd, blossom time, blossom colour, leaf shape, leaf colour etc).

I'll see what I can do to fill in those gaps FB

Apple tree No 10 - tree shape, pips & more apples

Having eaten a slice, its an eater. Even though unripe, it was not too sharp.

Well, the shape and colour of the leaves, and the high count of normal-shaped pips suggest a diploid variety.

The pale pips suggest it's a couple of weeks from being ripe - perhaps "in season" late August to early September in normal years - it would qualify as an early-season eater, but would be better classed as "second early".

I don't think it's going to turn out to be a well-known variety.

Thanks FB

. I'd rather have uncommon ones. If I can grab a few ripe apples I'll take them to an Apple day and see what they make of them.
