If you have any of the apples, a few pictures of the tree, or really any other identifying feature, it should be easy to find out.

Obtaining seeds to grow another one...that's where the challenge is.

for some reason i thought you will be the first one to post here lol



sadly, i don't have any apples left, cause it was cut before i knew it was going to be. Maybe there are some old pic tho. I don't think its a well known kind (maybe its a crossbreed ?) It wasn't one of those commertial type of apples that are resistant to pests and all taste the same

Maybe it was the tree in the title, maybe it was the fact that I post in most threads when I'm bored.

In any case, I work for a grocer that sells a wide variety of locally grown apples, i.e. not the commercially grown acres and acres type. A function of this is that I have access to a handful of people who know hundreds of different types of trees and apples, and can identify them by sight, taste, etc. It's always worth a try if you want to ID the tree.

Check the ground around the spot of the tree for seeds. Check your grandfather's old housing and income tax records. There's plenty of resources you can use to find the info you want, depending on how bad you want to know.

I have nothing really to contribute to the thread.
But to let you all know I have my own apple tree,and tonight with my pork I had apple sauce.... which we made from the apples from the tree.
Was delicious

That is all.
Continue.
