Need the apple experts

[swaine]

Last year I started a smallish orchard of about 30 varieties of apple one variety I ordered called kindal sinap seems to be very different from everyone else's version so could do with some help
On possible identification
Firstly I've posted a picture of the kindal sinap then I'll post pics of mine

Not that I am an expert but I am sure I have read some where that in they early years the fruit may not be typical to the variety. Also have you spoken to the supplier to see what they have to say?

However, more to the point. Do you like the taste of it?

Many thanks for the useful information on the early fruiting years , it just seemed very different from the pictures,
Not tasted yet, not overly bothered if it's incorrect just would be good to find out what it could be,
I will contact the supplier it's a few years old now first crop but seems to have been dropped from the suppliers list so don't quite now what's happened

If it has been dropped then maybe they realised it wasn't true to type. I know there was one variety I was excited about last year and there were several people who removed it as their specimens were in debate. There is only one way to find out

Another possible problem concerning what yours looks like, with regards their colouring, could be the weather this year. I would have expected to get a red blush as seems to be expected they may need a bit more sun and general warmth.

Yours are not "elongated" - side view, they look somewhat too round, whereas the classic shape appears somewhat elongated.

You may have Royal Jubilee, although the process to get from Kandil Sinap to Royal Jubilee is a bit round the houses.
So treat it as dubious or a long shot.
A google for Kandil Sinap turns up one site (US I think) that says "also called Jubilee".
A search for Jubilee on the National Fruit Collection turns up Jubilee but the preferred name is given as Royal Jubilee.
Royal Jubilee looks somewhat like your images.

Many thanks, yes I found a description saying they are like a tall barrel with red flush, mine are very round, I'll wait to see if any flush appears, I'll look up the jubilee apple aswell

I like Kirk's reasoning. Have to admit that my first thought on seeing the photos was Golden Delicious

I am absolutely no apple expert!
But....
It looks like your leaves (and fruit ?) are speckled with something?

Am I just imagining the speckles on the fruit? The leaves certainly have them .
Might that affect the fruit in some way?

I bet they are grown in alphabetically arranged rows, so yes, I reckon Kirk's idea of Jubilee is a good one. And Karmijn de Sonnaville looks nothing like either of them.
