Hello.
I was out walking this morning (17-8-20) and I spotted three apple trees growing in the wild. They are all within a 5 min walk of each other. The area they are growing in was once an industrial area (active between early 1800s - mid 1900s) cotton mills, wire and copper works driven by water power. There were also some old terrace houses around there at one point, which where demolished in the 1960s. Now its just a place for willdlife and for people to walk their dogs etc. I took some of the apple and have uploaded a photo of them. Any idea what they are/or might be? They look to be 3 diffrent varieties to me. I will go back in September to check them, and hopefully they will have grown some more. Taste wise, Apple "C" tasted almost ready quite sweet. Not bitter at all. It had a sort of Gala taste to it. Apple "B" taste wise has some time to go..still sour. Apple "A" had a familiar taste to it..but cant quite place it. But should be eddible in time.
