When trying to determine what type of apple tree you have, there are a few different factors to take into account. The first is the climate in which the tree is located. Apple trees need a certain amount of chill hours in order to produce fruit, so if you live in an area with a very warm climate, it’s unlikely that you have an apple tree. The second factor is the type of fruit that the tree produces. There are thousands of different varieties of apples, so if you can identify the type of apple your tree produces, that will narrow down the possibilities. Finally, you can look at the physical characteristics of the tree itself, such as the shape and size of the leaves, to help ID the type of apple tree you have.<\/p>\n

The type of apple tree you have will depend on the type of apple you want. For example, if you want a tart apple, you will need a tree that produces a tart apple. Some common tart apple varieties include Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp. If you want a sweet apple, you will need a tree that produces a sweet apple. Some common sweet apple varieties include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Fuji.<\/p>\n

How can I identify my apple tree? <\/h2>\n

If you are trying to identify an apple tree, the best way to do so is to find some form of documentation that will tell you what variety of apple tree it is. This documentation can come in the form of a plant label, receipt, letter, or journal entry from the gardener who planted the tree. Without this documentation, it can be difficult to know for certain what type of apple tree you have.<\/p>\n

FruitID is a great resource for orchard professionals and enthusiasts. It has images, descriptors and DNA fingerprints for the common apple cultivars growing in the British Isles. Plums now have sufficient coding to be useful for identification. This makes it easier to identify the cultivars and helps to ensure that the correct variety is being grown.<\/p>\n
