lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Found an apple tree out on my wanderings, but I'm just not sure what type they are, or if they're good for eating or baking. Can anyone tell me please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,793 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 They look like what we call crab apples Jen, usually very bitter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I tasted a bit of one, it wasn't fabulous but it wasn't awful either. Is there anything useful to be done with them Moll? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,793 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have to say i don't know tbh, i used to gather them with berries for the dogs as part of their barf diet if that helps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 They look very much like the apples that used to grow on my tree in the front garden. I remember my grandad used to make crumble from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 there bramleys cooking apples Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oakey 57 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 if you are really desperate to know if you send the fruit and some leaves to the collage at pershore they will identify it for a small charge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 5,006 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I tend to agree with scothunter they look very much like bramleys cookers' if you can source some others you can blend the bramleys and make a nice cider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
